COLL a LLOC

A poetic of the body

With the support of Toni Cots.

The COLL a LLOC project is a process of reflection, writing and performance that intends to situate the research and creation generated by the body in order to gather up to the date the lived scenic and personal experience. Consists in ordering, spreading out and representing by the use of words and movement the body as an artistic subject and object. Working out brief sequences of actions as to expose the different stages in which the body is involved, impressed, invaded, interiorized…or investigated in order to be communicative, concrete, permeable, subtle…also spontaneous and precise at the same time. Looking for resonances. To propose a space where to feel the vibration of one’s own body and the common one might be possible.

First phase (from October 2012 to June 2013) try to capture and to empty the past, to write about how the research ‘Pell endins’ started in 2007, followed by the creative process ‘(in)permanència’ with xguix (sound artist).

Second phase (from October 2013 to September 2014) this phase aims at capturing what really wants to be remembered, lived and prolonged in time by means of silence and incertitude. Move into the space and occupy it without any frame, to move without knowing what to move, to prepare one self without knowing towards what to be prepared. And gradually, from the associative interaction of the different materials, a poetic merge in which the body becomes intimate and object at the same time.

Third phase  (from October 2014 to September 2015) to shape forms so to experience how the expression, exchange, dialogue, and communication of the research and creation is spread by using performative actions and other activities.
