Resolution! 2015

Konstantina Skalionta presents: 'In the likeness of..' as part of the biggest festival for new dance in the UK: Resolution! 2015. The evening includes works by CieMulator Dance and Fuora Dance Project.

'In the likeness of..' is a new contemporary dance performance by Konstantina Skalionta, that explores the dynamics of the mother and daughter relationship. The female duet questions the feminine identity, the emotional attachment between mother and daughter and their need to identify with each other. As they attempt to seek their own individuality will they break away from each other or will they remain connected with an invincible umbilical cord? Can their detachment be redemptive or will it be traumatic? The performance celebrates the complexity and endurance of this relationship.

Choreographer Konstantina Skalionta collaborates with the artist Bea Bonafini and the musician Irma Vastakaite, in order to bring together on stage contemporary dance, visual arts and live music. Konstantina has previously won commission to develop performances for the 'Women of Mass Destruction 2' dance platform (RichMix) and the Surrey Dance Festival 2014 (Glive Theatre). She is currently co-producing with Lucia Schweigert the new platform for emerging choreographers and artists: 'Kaleidoscopic Arts'.
