DOUBLE BILL: IMPRINTS (work-in-progress) & Last Dance
One evening, one ticket, two experiences. That’s DOUBLE BILL! We start at 7:30 p.m.
Anastázie Dobrodinská a Josef Neudeker & Temporary Collective: IMPRINTS (work-in-progress)
The Inprints project explores the phenomenon of “imprinting” natural phenomena and materials onto the performer’s body directly within the landscape, followed by the reconstruction of these imprints in a different, urbanized space. This dual context (nature versus the environment in which the performance takes place) allows for an exploration of how the body remembers and conveys the experience of a place. The creative duo draws inspiration from the traditions of earth-body art and site-specific performance.
Performances of this kind emphasize a personal connection to the landscape: the performative act in nature serves as a means of both cognition and communication, often without even requiring an audience. In the resulting performance, the reconstructed bodily imprints enter into a dialogue with a live-generated sound composition. Here, music exists as an autonomous partner to movement. It emerges through mutual interaction with the performer and reconstructs the imprints stored in the body through a different medium. Movement and sound thus jointly develop a dialogue in which the experience of the landscape is translated into two mutually influential performative languages.

Temporary Collective: Last Dance
How do you dance with someone who has left?
Can you bring them back through dance?
Can their absence bring you back to yourself?
How do you overcome loss? The loss of a loved one? Or the loss of an ideal? Or a vision of the future?
In the project LAST DANCE, Tereza Ondrová returns to her solo Call Alice to attempt to bring the loss experienced during the pandemic back to life. In this one-time solo, set in a dance hall where we dance together as a whole, Ondrová will dance alone. She dances to heal and to discover how loss can be transformed. Through revisiting and working with material from the past, we at Temporary Collective explore the concept of non-growth—creating from a single source—or upcycling. We seek to reevaluate our working methods and focus on themes of sustainability on personal, professional, and environmental levels.
