Proposal
Parallel to his choreographic creations, Pal Frenak explores others forms of sharing with the audience. In this way, he proposes to the participants a choreographic work conceived as a place for experimentation. The questions are more important that the final formal result. This questioning doesn't lead to one answer but to a multiplicity of actions, of points of view for one unique aim: to make the relationship with the space and the movement more intense and active.

Stake
The stake of this confrontation is a reflection on the perception: learning to see differently, to project oneself mentally and to get away from one's perceptive habits. Grasping a detail while being aware of one's whole person, being aware of the tiny movements. Going to improvisation and then composition. Stimulating the imagination.

Content
To reach the organic movements by listening to one's own sensations and emotions. To develop one's gesture and eliminate all ornamentations and excess in order to concentrate on what is essential. Going deeper in one's own dance.

Pal Frenak "Our bodies and our beings are the imprints of our memories which are created through the interaction of flesh, of spaces, of bodies and of smells. Our skin and our spirit perceive and absorb the world's signs which encircle us, as we, at the same time, disperse our own imprints and signs upon the territories of our existence."

Frenak nourished himself upon many travels and encounters with companies from East-European countries (Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania) and also upon Japan, from where the inspiration for several creations came. During an artistic residency at the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto he studied the gestures of everyday Japan, and without guidelines explored a foreign universe. Born to deaf-mute parents, Pal learned sign language naturally, and today, this gestural vocabulary is naturally rooted in his system. A professor, he has worked with handicapped children, deaf-mute and currently autistic young. The work of the choreographer expresses a rationality pushed to his own destruction, a reflection, at times uncomfortable, on the limitations of human possibility.
