Skatepark is a wonderful piece about dance.
Tanz
They fly through the air and defy gravity, listen to music, chat, laugh, sing and dance. At the skatepark, people from different communities get together, syncing their own bodies in coordination with the movements of the others and practising virtuoso physical experiments. In her new work, Danish choreographer Mette Ingvartsen depicts the skatepark as a performative space and expands the common dance vocabulary to include kickturns, 180s and boardslides. Antidote, a global architectural firm specialising in skateparks in public spaces, designs a site that features ramps and rails, a stage setting that is as functional as it is extraordinary.
In Skatepark, ten skaters play with the possibilities afforded by the space, the boards and community in a multitude of parallel actions. A vibrant choreography for the stage, carefully structured and condensed, emerges from everyday culture.
