The dancer's and musician's residences are a study of musical compositions in the context of
movement, performance and interpretation in contemporary dance. In the selection of specific
musical compositions – for the dance art of the key composer Johann Sebastian Bach – Concerto
for harpsichord / piano and chamber orchestra No.1 in D minor BWV 1052 and Chaconne from
violin Partita no. 2 d minor BWV 1004 adapted for solo piano by Feruccio Busoni, will view and
analyze graphic recording, formal and compositional parameters, interpretive principles and
aesthetics, which the composer has outlined in these works in order to transfer these procedures
to the movement score and articulate them in physical terms.
Katarína Brestovanská / dancer and Kamil Mihalov / pianist start this process after experiences
from regular artistic overlaps into the "spheres of the other". Kamil has long been involved in the
field of contemporary dance and movement theater, Katarína Brestovanská studied piano for 14
years and continues to develop in this area. Her dance and performative works are created in
close connection between the musical and movement score, which together create an organic
structure.
At the same time, this year marks 270 years since Bach's death. Even in this form, artists want to
recall the complexity and timelessness of his work. His music continues to massively influence the
context of contemporary dance, which inspires them to think together not only about possibilities
but also over limits.
