FRACTURED (The body in search of form...)
With her expressive, creatively minimalistic and technically precise composition, Andrea Miltnerová takes us to a mysterious, at times 'kafkaesque' world. To the fragmented sounds of a Bach concerto, animal instinct merges with a distinctive, pure esthetic. A voyage to a world beneath the skin, a world of muscles and sinews, a journey elsewhere... Fascinated, we sense the intensity of the image, in which time acquires a different dimension...
Concept and Choreography: Andrea Miltnerová
Lighting and Sound design: Jan Komárek
Performed by: Andrea Miltnerová
DANCE OF THE MAGNETIC BALLERINA
This coproduction by Andrea Miltnerová and Motus has been selected for the year 2013 as part of the prestigious European network Aerowaves.
Movement in the context of image and sound – image and sound in motion. The magnetic ballerina, trapped inside her cage of light, allows our imagination to fly. Intense movement sequences fuse with a collage of sound and a unique, interactive lighting design to relate a nonviolent, at times irritating, at times vulnerable, personal testimony of an obstinate obsession with movement.

Sound and lighting design: Jan Komárek
Coproduction: Motus, producers of the Alfred ve dvoře theatre
Andrea Miltnerová
British dancer and choreographer of Czech origin, who lives in Prague. For the past few years she has been specializing in baroque dance and its creative fusion with other techniques, above all contemporary dance. She was born and trained in London and came to Prague to dance with the Ballet of the National Theatre. She currently collaborates as a performer with various Czech and foreign creators.
Her contemporary dance solo Dance of the Magnetic Ballerina was selected by the prestigious European network Aerowaves as one of their priority performances for 2013. It has been successfully presented at numerous festivals and theatres throughout Europe for example:
Aerowaves Spring Forward (Zürich Tanzt), East Gate Europe 2 festival Denmark, Paradiso (Julidans) in Amsterdam, euro-scene Leipzig, Unidram Potsdam, Kammermachen Chemnitz, International Dance Festival Bonn, Crossroads Antwerp, International Theatre Festival Sibiu Romania, Plai International Music Festival in Timișoara Romania, Guerilla Light Festival in Ljubljana, Manipulate Edinburgh, The Place Theatre London and The Old Vic Theatre Bristol England and is invited to Finland, Italy and France. The performance was part of the project Nová Síť and DANCE PRAGUE in the regions 2013.
Her deep interest in the baroque led her to collaborate on the reconstruction of baroque operas and to create her own performances based on movement analysis and ethnochoreographic research, for example The Baroque Body Revealed, Pentimento and Vertical Horizontal. She has worked as a director, choreographer and dancer with the early music ensembles Collegium 1704 and Collegium Marianum. She has danced in baroque operas at the National Theatre, at the baroque Castle Theatre in Český Krumlov and in festivals in Germany, Slovenia and Hungary.

In 1983 Jan moved to Toronto, Canada, where, together with composer Rainer Wiens he founded ‛Sound Image Theatre’, using actors as well as dancers and various performers to create image based, poetic performances with live music.
