Pau Ros, from POPklik, presents the production photography of AVA Dance full-length evening performance the 24th & 25th November 2014 at the Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler’s Wells London. Text continues below…

For the first time London audiences have the opportunity to enjoy an exquisite movement style and visionary choreography of Avatâra Ayuso as a full-length evening performance. The “Provisional Landscapes” performance unveils four thrilling, intelligent, and thought provoking pieces; explores theme of migration, identity, personal space, transformation, the other and nostalgia.

Avatâra Ayuso’s visually accomplished, intellectually rigorous short-dance film “Tokyo Tokyo” (selected by Dance Film Festival UK in 2014) leads its audiences through the magic of unfolding mystery; contrasting the 21st century physical surroundings of Japanese contemporary city and symbols of its grounded tradition. The movement of the dancers and the camera collaborate on creation of a single work of art.

Highly physical duet “OneSquareMeter” refers to a human being’s need to maintain his/her invading personal space in crowded urban communities. Through dynamic movement style Avatâra creates a mute dialogue between two “the others” crowded in one square meter with no escape.

Solo “Balikbayan” is an atmospheric and dazzling work inspired by Philippine woman and her story of migration. This significant and enduring piece reveals the woman’s innermost desire to regain her sense of self-identity. Here Ayuso provokes inner experience for both a dancer and her audience.
