BQdanza will be performing a new Site-Specific piece: Frame. Place: Old Brewery in Georgetown. June 28th 3:30 and 7.
Frame, a collective creation by BQdance members and choreographer Carla Barragan, is a site-specific work developed at the Old Brewery House in Georgetown. Frame depicts movement stories that can be viewed from different angles. The audience is intended to walk freely through the space experiencing the work in a number of frames, in other words, perspectives. Some of the gesture work performed in the alcoves illustrates the vast amount of goods and comfort that exist in our society, which in the end, prove to be more harmful than helpful. Dancers create their own movement perspectives on an array of items, e.g., nuclear weapons, cosmetics, plastic bottles, insurance, tax rebates, online relationships, etc. On the other hand, other sections offer to the viewer the kind of beauty that emerges in a site without commodities where dancers can adapt and exploit the surfaces of the ruins of a building where normal human comfort no longer exist.

BQ dance in Ecuador

We had a three city tour during April 2, 3, and 4/07, we showed excerpts from Loud Omission, Pablo Cornejo's "todo para mi fue noche o tormenta" and we showed our 2 videos.

"Barragán accomplished her goal: to provoke in the audience a sense of awe that emerges not from reason, but from the sensory perception. The variety of arts that converge in this work eliminates any danger of labeling it." (El Universo, April 2007)
