DAMIAN CORTES ALBERTI Choreography and Mentorship

"Probleme und Lösungen für nicht existierende Probleme zu schaffen, kann eine besondere Fähigkeit sein. Angst ist ein grundlegender Überlebensmechanismus. Ein Mechanismus, der ausgelöst wird, wenn ein Mensch in Gefahr ist. Angst ist die Fähigkeit, Gefahr zu erkennen, und führt zu der Entscheidung: zu fliehen oder sich der Gefahr zu stellen. Dieses Gefühl und diese Reaktion sind uns angeboren. Wir werden mit Angst geboren. Wir werden mit ihr geboren, um uns vor echten Gefahren zu schützen. Das eigentliche Problem entsteht, wenn Menschen nicht nur auf die tatsächliche Gefahr mit Angst reagieren, sondern auch auf erwartete, imaginäre Gefahren. Der arme Körper denkt, er flieht vor dem Löwen, aber er flieht nur vor sich selbst. Interessanterweise sind wir in der Lage, einen hohen Adrenalinspiegel zu erreichen, ohne uns der realen Gefahr stellen zu müssen. Unvorhersehbare Zeiten, insbesondere die, in denen wir heute leben, bringen unterschiedliche Bedrohungen und Ängste mit sich. Die Aufführung erforscht das Konzept der Angst in Form von Bewegung, Tanz und Theaterelementen. Eine humorvolle Annäherung an eine der dunkelsten Emotionen. Die Aufführung ist selbstreflexiv und richtet sich an all jene, die sich vor etwas fürchten, sich dessen bewusst sind und es vielleicht sogar für unnötig halten, Angst zu haben, und es dennoch tun. Angst fühlen, wirklich Angst haben und Angst erzeugen. "

"Creating  problems and solutions to non-existent problems can be a special  ability. Fear is a basic survival mechanism. A mechanism that is  triggered when a person is in danger. Fear is the ability to recognize  danger and leads to the decision: to escape or to face danger. This  emotion and response are innate in us. We are born with fear. Born with  it to protect us from real danger. The real problem arises when people  react with fear not only to the actual danger, but also to expected,  imaginary dangers. Poor body, it thinks it’s running away from the lion,  but it’s just running away from itself. Interestingly, we are able to  bring ourselves to high levels of adrenaline without having to face the  real danger. Unpredictable times, especially the ones we live in now,  display different threats and fears. The performance explores fear as a  concept framed in movement, dance, and elements of theatre. A humorous  approach to one of the darkest emotions. The performance is  self-reflective and addresses all those who are afraid of something, are  aware of it, and may even find it unnecessary to be afraid, and yet  they are. Feeling fear, really being afraid, and creating fear. "
