Nicole Corsino and Norbert Corsino are choreographers and researchers. Interested in the kinetics of bodies and of landscapes, they explore areas where dance can emerge and be written in order to show how the movement of bodies modifies them. They change performance spaces and venues by showing their choreographic fictions in the form of interactive installations. Winners of the Prix Villa Médicis (1994) for research with the Life Forms choreographic composition software, they create Totempol in Vancouver, it is the prelude to the cloned performers of Captives 2nd movement. (2000). Traversées is commissioned by The French government (Commande Publique, 1996). In coproduction with IRCAM and IRISA, they create Seule avec loup, an interactive choreographic navigation incorporating the WFS system of sound holography (Centre Pompidou 2006). Prizewinners of the CMA-CGM’s corporate foundation (2007), soi moi is a choreographic navigation, created for iPhone (2009). Bangalore fictions, done at New Delhi and Bangalore, is also available in choreographic novel for iPad. (2013). They are artistic managers of scène 44, an european stage for choreography and digital arts, Marseilles Media Pole.

The Silences of Dance

The silences of dance are not silent. They express a tension in the void. This tension is a suspension in space and time: it becomes the place for updating between different elements by breaking symmetries or by what can be descibed as such. Musics and dances are associated and differentiated in the connection windows that refer to a topological structure of time. Through the example of three dancers and choreographers – Pina Bausch, Merce Cunningham and Michael Jackson – we will try to specify how this transformation takes place for each of them.
