Control. Javier Martin

Galician choreographer and dancer Javier Martín will premiere Control on February 20, a co-production of the University of Navarra Museum and the consulting firm Artibus.

On November 17, Martín participated in the Madrid International Dance Festival with the work in progress of the same piece.

With a scientific background and multiple conceptual interests, Martín presents his solo improvisation and subsequent discussion as a shared experience. In Control , he develops the concept of transformation to create a solo. The Galician artist wants to "discover how this psychic energy is structured in the body; to find out how this energy remains immobile, potential, pacing and changing the location of the constant movement of homeostasis, its inherent kinetics or biodynamics."

"I was never interested in the movement of the body; what interests me is the movement of the soul. The body expresses itself as a consequence of the movement of the soul. Working on choreography from the body is a superficial way of acting, and therefore the wrong way to talk about things that are truly important and immanent," the artist emphasizes.

Collaborate and learn with artists and scientists from the current scene to develop sensitivity in the body and achieve greater awareness of movement, working on everything related to the creative process and staging.
