Apart from immersing into social history, we decided to start from our own histories, our very first projects. We chose two dance pieces from our past that share a strong common link – working with white paper. Christina opted for her work 'Zeitränder' in which she worked with a large square- shaped piece of paper, and I chose the installation of A4 paper from 'Temporary Exposition'.
In 'Now and Then', paper acts as a surface upon which our conversations about that moment in history when modern dance emerged, unfolds. While we are working with paper, a recording of our conversation about a group photo on Monte Verità mountain from the early 20th century is simultaneously played. The entire process was extremely rich and it engendered a very meditative, minimalist piece, which sparked a desire for other, new collaborations.
