On stage, in an experienced chaos, three bodies are looking for moments of closeness. These creates fragments of intimacy, belonging and affection. Together they perform a basic human desire which forces them to let go of what is well known. They have the intention to create a multitude of expressions that comes together as one complex body beyond identity and cultural origin.
VORTEX is an interdisciplinary contemporary choreographic and music performance for three bodies working with composition based on free and strictly set timelines. This creates an orbit for a mutual universe on stage. Solos, duos and trios are intertwined, unique for each occasion. Diversity is the stance of the piece and group identity. The concept VORTEX is the starting-point for the process and the performed content.
wiki – Vortex: a mass of fluid (such as a liquid) with a whirling or circular motion that tends to form a cavity or vacuum in the center of the circle and to draw toward this cavity or vacuum bodies subject to its action, is also considered as the converging of energies.
In 2017 a collaboration started between three Gothenburg based artists creating the group Non-Topia. Their first presentation was a short piece shown at Måndans#8 Neptune, on February 20-21st, at 3:e våningen in Gothenburg Sweden, with the title VORTEX. The name of the group Non-Topia emerged from dialogues where science, philosophy and ritual elements constitute the understanding of how we construct contexts, societies, nations and identities. Non-Topia is a fictive landscape shaped by those being present with the shared perception of temporary coexistence. Within our artistic practice and method, encounter occurs and proposes an environment for collective and individual processes. During 2017 the group had the possibility to deepen their collaboration and produce a full scale production through the venture New Choreography, giving the artists a residency at 3:e Våningen and a presentation at Måndans#8 Extended in October 2017. The group co-works with ONYX Kulturproduktion. Through them a cultural exchange has been possible based on a grant from Västra Götalandsregione’s international exchange program with Fertile Ground, Dance City and Newcastle College in UK.
