“ Invisible Presence ”
无形之存在
This performance is inspired by the work of the Korean artist KeySook Geum and her special wire and crystal dresses. While playing with the «Invisible Presence» in the Art+ Gallery, the artists are questioning the relation of the invisibility of being with the character of the costumes. A dress has the power to reveal or hide certain shades of human personality, and also to incarnate an identity itself made by a divine designer. Three dancers and one musician play with this different relations between the visible and the invisible presence shaped by “Wire and Light” costumes.

本次演出的灵感启发来自于韩国艺术家琴基淑和她特别的金属丝线水晶服饰。将要在艺术+上海画廊进行的舞蹈演出，仿佛是对穿着着这些服饰中无形的人物发出提问，与其产生某种特殊联络。一件服饰可以拥有隐藏人的个性性格特征的力量，同时也能通过设计师之手体现其身份与风格。三位舞者及一名乐者，将在“线与光”的服饰所体现的无形与有形之中，表演展示他们之间的奇妙联系。

a.k.a Menina is a visual and body artist, performer and educator, member of The Illumin8tors, an co-creative artistic collective. Her journey to China had begun a long time ago, even before she came to China to study in 2004, and then moved here in 2007. With her background of Chinese studies, Olga tend to explore artistic expression as a way of non-verbal communication through a multicultural approach. While studying contemporary art at China Academy of Art, she focused her research on the inter-cultural communication through dance, particularly emphasizing interactions between Chinese and Western cultures, which had definitely had an influence on her artistic works as well. Currently Olga is proceeding with her research, exploring Chinese body culture and its features displayed in dance and theatre. She leads an improvisation dance class in Hanghzou.
