CAGE | Katie Duck
Presented on July 5, 2019 at the Artium Museum in Vitoria-Gasteiz
Katie Duck, Dirección and performer | Zuriñe Benavente, performer | Ignacio Monterrubio, sound
Cage/Jaula investigates how the mind is limited by our lack of social ability to release emotions and how these are a key component of our emotional intelligence and the way we accept and respond to the changing human nature every day. It speaks from the curiosity of a female mind. And how language has frozen society within a delusional concept of equal rights and economic security. This could change, but only if we allow ourselves to follow emotions and give them space instead of burying them under intellectual discourse.
No Blame | Mark Tompkins

That moment when belief is suspended and anything can happen. And you are totally involved and you are watching. It is like a movie and you are playing your own role in front of your own eyes. The story is unfolding in real time and you are the main character. And at the same time you are not you because you are watching yourself act. The action is in sync with the witness of the action. There is no more question of choice in the sense that you are chosen.

I dance… like someone who digs into the body, clearing obstacles, opening new possible circuits that allow me to access its voice… the voice of the body hidden in the body that dances, I move to meet its acoustic possibilities, through the breathing of movement, the unfolding, polyphonic body, dilating the contact between the skin and space, I assist in the discovery of textures, tones, qualities… that emerge in a process of revelation from daily practice when it happens in listening to the body, as a musical instrument, or… a place of resonances…
EndPlay: An Observatory / Lisa Nelson
Presented on December 3, 2016 in Tabakalera, Donostia. Organized by AZALA.
Lisa Nelson / Dirección Luciana Chieregati / Ibon Salbador / Isaak Erdoiza / Idurre Azkue / Ion Munduate / Amaia Navascues / Ainara Gurrutxaga / Zuriñe Benavente / María Muñoz
In EndPlay: An Observatory we witness together the birth of a dance from a single action, the intoxication of the body with imagination, the dance of consequences, a theatre of opinion, the ephemeral union of attentions and intentions that illuminates the circumstances of the body.
With the presentation of EndPlay: An Observatory, Tuning Scores: composition, communication and the sense of imagination, a training-creation project directed by the American choreographer Lisa Nelson, comes to a close. The project consists of a workshop (Azala, from November 21 to 25) and a laboratory (Tabakalera, from November 28 to December 3), in which nine invited creators participate.
