Residence - Andrea Peña

Andrea Peña - multidisciplinary artist at the crossroads of installation, choreography and design.

Each year, Danse Danse supports artists by making rehearsal spaces available, thereby allowing them to deepen several aspects of their creative work. Choreographer Andrea Peña and her company, will be in residence at the Beverley Webster Rolph Hall of The Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (MAC).

The residency offers artists the opportunity to delve deeper into various aspects of their work and allows MAC visitors an inside look at the creative process.

We find ourselves in a temporality of questioning the past towards embracing and re-imagining the future. The work the artists will be exploring during this residency is a return to creation and research fueled by a deep reflection of our current human condition. The choreographer will dive into the body as a force - a physical, emotice sensitive and cognitive force. The artists will place these forces in dialogue with choreographic systems as situations that will allow the performer to engage in a real-time negotiation with space, time, themselves and each other. In this work, inspired by her personal practice as an industrial designer, Andrea Peña will introduce the forces of materiality as a physical agent of experience, a challenge to the forces and potentials of the human body and spirit.
