In the process of constant transiting, we could not understand the ground we touch upon. Passing movement, giving and taking, pushing and pulling could only give a chance for accepting that our games, big or small, have consequences to lean on.
We sing for the clouds and the mystery and hope, we transform so to feel the magic in our bodies, for movement to be a learning of promises to hold. Hand over, turn over, encounter and mold.

Andreas Hannes brings forward the two interrelated practices of skipping (as in skipping down the street) and warping (to deviate from the original direction or course). Together with vocalists Annelie Koning, Sanem Kalfa, Līva Dumpe and Felicity Provan, and the dancers of ECD3, they attempt to find the potential of dance and sound between different spaces, desires, histories and urgencies.
Circulation, direction, combination and gravitational pulls are explored for folding and unfolding perspectives of oneself, the viewer and the environment. Relay Sport is a proposal for practicing multiplicity and care as well as openness to change and be okay with it all.

RELAY SPORT was commissioned by WhyNot Festival and the Expanded Contemporary Dance department of the Amsterdam School of the Arts, AHK. 

Presented on the 13th of April 2024 at De Duif, Amsterdam
