Light Collective contribution - lights in performance
Light is used together with broken mirrors to cast reflections onto the dancers’ bodies. The mirrors create multiple shifting points of focus, while constant movement allows geometrical shapes to continuously form and dissolve as light and mirror surfaces interact.
This scene functions as the opening of the performance. As the audience enters the space, some spectators are given broken mirrors and invited to reflect light onto the performers. This action establishes an immediate and physical connection between audience and dancers, making the spectators active contributors to the visual composition.
At a certain moment, one dancer steps forward—possibly using a microphone—and speaks a single sentence: “What is between us?” This intervention introduces an additional conceptual layer, encouraging the audience to reconsider their use of the mirrors and their relationship to the performers. Simultaneously, the dancers deepen their interaction with one another, exploring the idea of what exists in the space between bodies.
Color is also integrated into the lighting design, allowing shifts in tone and atmosphere throughout the scene. Light becomes a central dynamic force within the performance, while the spoken text operates on a more conceptual level.
The use of mirrors as props adds an entirely new spatial and perceptual dimension. Together, light, text, and mirrors operate as interconnected elements, forming a cohesive and unified performative language.

Mitochondria – the powerhouse of the cell. They pr Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They are often called the powerhouse of the cell because they produce energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
Mitochondria also play an important role in regulating cell metabolism, controlling cell death (apoptosis), and maintaining overall cellular health. They have their own DNA, which suggests they evolved from ancient bacteria that formed a symbiotic relationship with cells.

Multiply the light, minus the text A corner in the room had a mirrored wall that created multiple fragments of 1 reflection. It made me immediately think of light as ways to create illusions.

Dramaturgies throughout Icodaco tiers In this week I realised that my general interest is continuously appearing in
dramaturgy. Here are some reflections about previous weeks and research. In this document, I also reflect on my own dramaturgical interests and tools.

A poem to dramaturgy Layers on layers, simple and at the same time complex. All works have their own logic after a while. Unexpected, not proper decisions but still coherent direction.

‘Stimulivomit’ This image is a visual representation of a dramaturgical approach to the tier 12, Dramaturgy.
In the ‘Stimulivomit’ method, the creators—the performers, choreographer, and director—share their ideas with each other in the rehearsal room in a long, nonstop practical process, without selection or filters. The rules: nonstop, just do it, “yes, and...!”

Self-experiment This is a little self-exercise on the effect of layers in a piece. Which parts of myself (my senses, my brain, my emotions...) are activated in each ‘chapter’ and how the different ways of organizing them affect the reading.
