Corpus Episodes

For this year´s season, the in-house modern company Corpus has included serial productions in the repertoire. First out was “Dogma”, where two choreographers, Tilman O´Donnell and Tina Tarpgaard each made a production based on the rules set by the dancers and choreographers.
Now, four choreographers are presenting works, bound by the theme of “Mother”. The press were invited to see the work created by Hilde Sandvold, the Norwegian choreographer.
The five dancers in the Corpus ensemble, performed in unisex grey costumes on an oversized table or runway. It was an all talk/all moving performance. However, the theme of motherhood was rather absent in the 40 minutes performance.
Of course limiting the storyline can be interpreted as an artistic decision. However, if you cannot accept the premise, why accept the assignment?
