Intentional gear is a contemporary dance piece based on the research of mechanical movement principles applied to the body.
As an evolution of the former research “Windmills” where spirals and pinwheels were predominant appearing forms; this work opens its quest to other principles: spring/recoil, swing and the chain of reaction.
The theme is investigated looking for “mechanical aesthetics”, or rather a specific quality of the body in motion that is filled with intrigue and beauty.
As a result, the performer shapes the space combining defined mechanical movements in repetition, to her will to produce a dance establishing an intermittent relation with music and the public.
About the soundtrack:
"Intentional gear" is a remix of 3 tracks created with RandoMidi, an experimental AI tool for music composition developed by ilQuArto.
The software features randomic creation of melodies after being trained with music scores.
