About the show "How A Spiral Works"
Art For Rainy Days performance "How A Spiral Works" is a unique, meditative, hypnotic contemporary circus, blending contemporary dance, hair hanging & aerial rope with reinvented Baltic folk music & minimal aesthetics. It provokes an audience to consider slowness and challenges the idea of circus as a spectacle.
Renowned British circus dramaturg Jason Dupree in collaboration with acclaimed choreographer Alise Bokaldere (LV) and the incredible aerialist Izabele Kuzelyte (LT). The trio join forces to create a collaboration between the west and east of Europe. In this piece, the artists merge their traditional values and modern outlooks.
One dancer, one aerialist, one dramaturg, and one rope explore the act of R-evolving.
The research tries to find new ways of representing contemporary circus, stretching the boundaries of it, uniting with dance and digital arts. Searching for new perspectives and innovative applications while still maintaining the beauty of simplicity.
