Easy: A Dance in the Making

A series of performances featuring unfinished choreographic works creates dialogue between creators and audiences, offering insights into the creative process.

In this new GES-2 project, diverse choreographers present works-in-progress in an informal setting. These preliminary versions and sketches appear not on a traditional stage but on the Central Platform, where all GES-2 visitors can experience them and engage in conversations with the creators and GES-2 mediators.

A work-in-progress often differs substantially from its final form. It typically comprises separate elements discovered during rehearsals that have yet to be integrated into a cohesive performance. By naming this series Easy, we invite both choreographers and viewers to approach these showings as opportunities for observation and discussion.

What questions and concepts are contemporary dance artists in Moscow and beyond currently exploring? What imagery and communication methods do they develop to address their interests?

The project also features digital collages by artist Anton Budnenko, created specifically for each performance using AI. Anton develops these works from the choreographer’s ideas, associations, photographs, and visual references, adding another rich visual dimension to each presentation.
