FOMO

SHOWING TANZFAKTUR KÖLN DEUTZ
OPEN FORMAT RESEARCH RESIDENCY

This portrait photo shows four barefoot dancers forming a human chain across an illuminated black stage. Their interaction evokes a mindful negotiation of support and balance.
On the far left, a Black woman in a light blue T-shirt and orange pants bends deeply forward on one leg, her right hand touching the floor. Her left hand rests on the shoulder of the second person, a Black man in beige pants and a brown West African print shirt. He squats low, mimicking her arm position, his left leg hooked with the third dancer’s right leg.
This third dancer, a white man in a black T-shirt and royal blue pants, balances on one leg, gripping the second dancer's hand while looking at his own raised foot. Via a mutual forearm grip, is connected to the fourth person—a white person with a brown bowl cut wearing a purple T-shirt and mint-green pants. In a wide stance, they lean their upper body away looking towards the third dancer.

The project 'FOMO' is a research lab in which KHARABA & GUESTS explore, test, and build methods and strategies for an improvised dance piece. The piece is intended to have a concrete, distinctive essence while staying flexible enough to change with every performance: perceived impulses generate decisions from which unexpected turns and twists arise. The dance unfolds from a response to what happens moment by moment, without a fixed sequence. The starting point for developing the work is the format 'PLAYTIME', in which participants improvise with one another based on a set of rules.

The thematic framework of the research is FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Furthermore, work will continue on the development and use of an auditive dramaturgy as an access-enhancing tool for dance pieces. In the context of this work, auditive dramaturgy refers to a conscious artistic composition of the audible elements within a dance piece. A specific focus is placed on listening as an aesthetic means of access—allowing the audience to perceive the progression, events, and atmospheres of the piece.

We look forward to your visit!
