Cliff represents artists working across choreography, performance, sound, installation and sonic theatre.
We aim to provide visibility to artistic creations, practice, teaching and research to stimulate dialogue and reflection about how to work in the open dimension of continuous imagination and the creation of new narratives.
Together we embrace a wide range of themes and aesthetics and share artistic visions developed through the lens of sociality, empathy, collective emergence and memory, the beauty of impermanence and how commoning is ultimately a process of love.
We ask, how does it feel being the ecology and therefore transmit artistic visions, which are concerned about the development of individual and collective tools for connectedness, the spiritual references for nature and the constant reweaving of our relationship to the world in transformation.
Life at its core as the intertwining of matter and desire.
The artists we promote, work with formats like hybrid live and lecture performance, immersive installation, sonic theatre, transmedia storytelling, participatory formats and crossovers between choreography, visual arts and music. Themes like cyber culture, more than human perspectives, the fragility of the human condition and its constraints, realities at the vertex between fantasy and wakefulness and the possibilities of transformation into new imaginations and poetics.
We take a non-binary position.
Respecting multiple perspectives, we stand by choreographers who work with gesture, touch, kinaesthetic empathy and tenderness towards what is really there. The body and its self-organising nature, relying on it as an organ of perception and creator of values.
We assist to amplify artistic voices which, through their singular practices, encourage the deepening of the experience on how we live the self as self-through-other and the expansion of aliveness through connectedness. The question of how we move through the present moment in slow shifts of consciousness, dreams, temporal cosmic frequencies and states of altered reality, motivates artistic proposals.
