Through the selection and editing of diverse film scenes and the contemporary rendering of their sound, the project attempts to explore new kinetic material, negotiate the relationship and the interaction among the three performers, along with the expansion of the potentialities of the sound-image-movement exchanges. The performers turn into sound animators experimenting with objects, materials, micro-movements and archive dances aiming to create an audible performative condition where the unseen side and sonic effects become the core action. Within this frame it creates a playful staged proposition by transforming the selected archive towards new possibilities of audience’s perception.“Coconut Effect” is an impromptu contemporary kinetic effect that animates those elements that cannot be easily seen and heard and highlights them as new tools for formulating a new choreographic logic.

It is the third part of a series of projects in which I explore the relationships and the potentials between sound, image, and movement. The series also features “All she likes is popping bubble wrap” a 17’28’’-minute video project (part of Onassis New Choreographers Festival 8, 2021) and “MOS” (2022), a 40′-minute staged choreographic work, which premiered within the context of Onassis New Choreographers Festival 9 (ONC9). “Coconut Effect”  is a ten minute piece that was presented at the 7th edition of Danse élargie competition (2022) and awarded the Young Jury Prize.

The seventh edition of Dance élargie was organised by Théâtre de la Ville – Paris, terrain company – Boris Charmatz, Fondation d’entreprise Hermès, the CCN-Ballet national de Marseille – direction (LA)HORDE and the Collectif FAIR-E / CCN de Rennes et de Bretagne.
