Dance is not one single thing, and it is becoming less and less what its name seems to suggest. For this first edition of the LP festival, we've decided to place ourselves around a series of artists working today and present their current works, including stage productions, installations, actions and contextual activities.
LP'07 – festival de danza... o no acts as an antifreeze on the minds of those who watch - it's a driving force for new criteria and spaces that are sensitive to the individual and the collective. LP'07 offers a way of looking at the evolution of dance as a vehicle for perception and understanding. Through movement, it searches for the best way to publish the reflections, processes and actions of guest artists.
LP'07 delves into the disappearance of limits or, more inclusively, it explores the diversity and plurality of these limits and the gaps that remain between them, allowing them to keep in motion and constant reformulation, disquieting us through pleasure and distortion.
In their diversity, the works presented in LP'07 share an attitude that actively questions established formats. They connect with the ideas of process and trajectory, more than with the concept of a finished or closed product.
They also share a spirit that claims the right to fantasy – acting directly on the imagination through words, gestures and actions – as an active form of constructing other 'possibles', revealing the invisible, and evoke other ways of looking and exhibiting.
The body as a presence, as breath, opens up to a network of questions and possibilities. New ways of existing and constructing oneself, which transgress the limit between the imaginary and the real: a danger zone that is marginal, ephemeral and vulnerable.
LP'07 – festival de danza... o no is organised by La Porta, an artists collective formed in 1992 to generate activities and contexts for the creation, reflection and investigation of performance activities that deal with the body and movement. Works, artists and experiences that are changing the way the body and dance are presented and represented.
