Performance: Comme

Performance by Aline Braun

Comme rethinks the idea of conventions in dance. Professional dancers often rely on a set of predefined steps, almost like following a catalog of norms. But is it really possible to create a conventional piece of contemporary dance? By studying videos of renowned choreographers, Aline Braun created a performance with the dancer Maja Kowalik in order to create a movement catalog, questioning and redefining what is considered conventional in dance.
