7MPR Themed Dance Theater

7MPR Choreographer’s Thoughts Fanny Pérez Fanny Pérez Gutiérrez (fannsystem) Musician: Jonah Trager Title of Work: Transe 55... Theme: Ability, Spirituality and Knowledge By welcoming sound/dance as a higher ordering of the body, the possibility of the body’s disordering is acceptedand the idea that there is no permanent entity within us is transmitted. The trickster archetype shines through carrying with it radical uncertainty and chaos which mirrors the reality that many would say we are living in. Chaos has a negative connotation because of its destructive component. But it reminds us that nothing is permanent, not even death. Chaos also has the potential to unearth and disintegrate things that have been deeply rooted which is necessary for new forms of life that have not found a footing within pre-existing systems can grow. Knowing that at the end of the tunnel there’s light, that life changes form but doesn’t end, that after death comes renewal, is HEALING. Moreover, it brings hope and strength to bring forward what lies beyond the unknown, the turbulence, and discomfort. For so long we have given our power away to ideas and to the institutions that enforce them. This piece is a reminder that no matter what labels are put on us, we are not ultimately defined by them since everything is constantly changing. Realizing this gives us power and inspiration to create a different world for ourselves.
