"What if the room is a symbol of personal sublime space, and performance is the most intimate space where we venture to speak frankly about what we believe is important?
Settling dance and performance in a simple room, we invite you to be our guest. Being in close proximity to the audience, the artist reveals the internal process, the hidden springs that determine the form of the performance.
In each of the 3 rooms there is an independent action, the short piece of existence. Each performance creates a unique context. Each viewer gets a unique experience".

"Dance and Contemporary dance in particular is mostly associated with theater and becomes a subject for an appropriate analysis. Theatricality is inherent to the dance since originally it was inseparable with it. Dramatic theater has grown from dance and now theatre is largely associated with drama.
Contemporary dance as an art combines with the use of the human body, not as a tool, but rather as the material from which you can create works of any configuration. So we leave the theatrical point of view and, keeping an indispensable contact with the audience, move to the sphere of contemporary art with its free interpretations of classical canons and an independence from particular technique.
The festival gathers artists of contemporary dance, which hold various ways of working with a body and composition and create their own independent language and the way of action. The viewer is invited to watch and compare three performances during one night, combining them into united space by his presence".

Structure
The program includes 9 performances.
During an evening the 3 performances are presented 3 times, each in its own room.
The performances start at the same time and end at about the same time.
Thus, the audience, joining one of the 3 groups, can visit each of the choreographers.
Each performance includes a conversation with the audience and small snacks from authors.
Each evening will be repeated twice.
About the organizer

International Culture Project «Art-Residence» is a space, uniting several directions of art:
• Visual art
• Music
• Dance
In the framework of the International Culture Project «Art-Residence», artists, choreographs, musicians of different directions from Russia and other countries are able to meet each other, share their experiences, work together and present joint ideas, which exist on the intersection of different genres of art.
Our objective is to collide concepts of the artists who belong to the same genre as well as to different genres of art, and to identify their unifying link.
