We are colleagues who reunited with the desire to put some shared readings and interests into action. During the creative process, in virtual and in-person encounters, the conversation uncovered clues for dance practices and revealed a research-creation methodology that is evident today in this performance. Crossing the River is a performance of improvisation and a meeting of dance and music where we test this research in relation to the audience's perspective: a staged attempt at experimentation.
Cruzando el charco / Crossing the River is an encounter. A River Plate encounter between Colonia, Buenos Aires, and Montevideo. An encounter between learned, inherited, and invented dances. An encounter between inhabited cities that offer fictional worlds for these dances. An encounter across the River.
