Igor x Moreno in conversation with Daniela Perazzo (guest curator) and Julia Pond

  • Résumé

  • Part of the special curated series enDurANCE, curated and guest hosted by Daniela Perazzo, and supported by the Ivor Guest Research Grant and the Race and Gender Matters Research Group at Kingston University, we discuss notions of endurance, perseverance, repetition and what they really require in art and life. Discussing their new work KARRASEKARE (the Sardinian word for Carnival) the conversation probes ideas of what collectivity can offer to duration and asks how cultural traditions can speak to our contemporary world and art.

    Igor x Moreno is the name under which the works created by choreographers Igor Urzelai and Moreno Solinas – in collaboration with an extended group of artists – are presented. Igor x Moreno’s works stem from a fascination for people and what makes us such special animals. They use choreography and mostly non-verbal languages to create experiences which can surprise, energise and unsettle. Their works – highly constructed whilst deeply concerned with liveness – visit and escape different genres and styles.Igor x Moreno’s creative processes favour questions over answers, action over narration, communication over expression, alterity over diversity, patience over productivity. They don’t see entertainment as their duty, but as a useful communication tool. They work with rigour and playfulness. They value pointlessness. The team – based across Europe – gathers in Sardinia and London, from where Igor x Moreno’s works have toured extensively in Europe and also in North and South America, Africa and Asia. Awards and recognitions include the Rudolf Laban Award and National Dance Awards and Total Theatre Awards nominations; their works have been selected for Aerowaves (2011, 2013 and 2015), NID Platform, British Council Showcase and British Dance Edition. Moreno Solinas and Igor Urzelai are affiliate artists of The Place (London), co-directors of Sardinian production company S’ALA (www.s-ala.com) and members of the Cultural Advisory Board of British Council Italy.
