Dance Clinic

Choy Ka Fai (Singapur/Berlin)  

22 – 23 May 2019 | Potsdamer Tanztage 2019Dance / performance

"Imagine a future where dance meets technology" - this is how the self-proclaimed doctor Choy Ka Fai greets the audience on a big screen. In the futuristic Dance Clinic, diagnoses such as weakness of presence and performance cancer are cured with the help of artificial intelligence Ember Jello. This allows dance and creative potential to be measured and automatically improved. A blessing, after all, not only the performers suffer from the creative crises, but also the audience. Using exemplary live dances, various brain functions are visualized. But why do you need an audience at all and who ensures against choreographic diseases? In his media dance performance, choreographer and designer Choy Ka Fai questions the current developments in contemporary dance ironically and with the use of 3D avatars. In 2010 he was awarded the Young Artist Award, and his works were also exhibited at the Architecture Biennale in Venice. His choreographies move between art, design, and technology and let dance appear from an innovative perspective.
The piece is in English.
