“Reprise”, the third part of “10 years in 1 Minute”, is an act of remembering dance from historical and classical formats. The performance attempts to reflect the past to connect ourselves into the future by creating our own tradition in the present time. During the play our imagination is encouraged by quoting and referencing from a wide range of movement languages, gestures, representations and the production of cultural images in dance. “Reprise” investigates our fragmental memories as an archival storage that we have learnt and experienced deeply or superficially. The magnitude/scope of this memory is ranging from our physical experience by education to its imaginary acquisition by clichés and the social media. The performance does not intend to dig deep into the details of each dance. It rather focuses on the tension between our current body and the old form of dances that have already been established ages ago. What gaps occur? How do we make a space that the third thing could appear? These questions are leading us to a contemporary tradition.
