Jan McNulty Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Normal Conditions / Nicola Conibere Carareretetatakakekerers Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler’s Wells EC1R RTN 14 & 15 October 2021 Tickets: £17 Performances at 8pm Tickets: www.sadlerswells.com Making their Lilian Baylis Studio debut on Thursday 14 & Friday 15 October are Normal Conditions / Nicola Conibere with the world premiere of new work, Carareretetatakakekerers. Carareretetatakakekerers is a discordant dance show for our times. Three performers quiver their way through dance techniques and get caught in loops. They host divergent rhythms, spend energy getting nowhere, and trip themselves up. Recycling actions from previous performances, physical coaching and social situations, they channel all the trainings in their bodies and see what happens. They try to take things slow but sometimes get caught in the routine. Embracing interdependence and practices of care, Carareretetatakakekerers asks when and why bodies are thought to exceed themselves. What futures or planes of relation are possible when we recognise that we hold each other up? After all, self-reliance can be so austere. Created through a process including covid infections, pings, remote rehearsals and masked dancing, Carareretetatakakekerers is presented by Normal Conditions - performed and co-created by Annie Hanauer, Helka Kaski and Adrienne Ming with original sound composition by Duncan MacLeod, costumes by Lucille Acevedo-Jones, lighting by Marty Langthorne, dramaturgy by Martin Hargreaves, promotional designs by Ted Young-Ing, photography by Christa Holka and choreographed/conceived by Nicola Conibere. Nicola Conibere is a London-based choreographer who makes work for theatres, art galleries and other places. Her work engages choreographic processes to explore the potentials of how bodies relate, investigating states of exchange between people, duration, place and other materials. She is particularly interested in the politics of performance, and in the nature and potentials of spectatorial exchange. Her recent works have mostly been presented in art galleries including the duet Do-Re-Me (2014) in which two enmeshed bodies create a constantly evolving mass, shown at Hayward Gallery (London); Royal Academy of Arts (London); Nottingham Contemporary (Nottingham) amongst others. And Assembly (2013), a work performed by around 20 trained and untrained performers in civic spaces: Dance House Helsinki (Finland); 20th Biennale of Sydney (Australia); Tramway (Scotland) amongst others. In 2015, Nicola was awarded the Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award and from 2009-14, she was an Associate Artist with Nottingham based dance agency Dance4. Her work has been shown at venues internationally and she has collaborated with a range of artists. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England Both evenings are relaxed performances Listings Information Normal Conditions / Nicola Conibere Carareretetatakakekerers Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler’s Wells EC1R RTN 14 & 15 October 2021 Tickets: £17 Performances at 8pm Tickets: www.sadlerswells.com NOTES TO EDITORS About Sadler’s Wells Sadler's Wells is a world-leading dance organisation.
