VIDEO ON MOVING language KOVA FROM MARCOS MORAU

Choreographer Marcos Morau and the dancers of NDT 2 create a world premiere for the program The play between. In 2005 Morau founded the company La Veronal, a collective of artists in dance, film, photography and literature. Together with his team of dancers, Marcos Morau developed a specific movement language called KOVA. An abstract, counter-intuitive language where the dancers focus on the space and the body, connecting with shapes around them instead of emotions or feelings.

Do you want to know what this movement language looks like? Watch this video from La Veronal on ‘KOVA GEOGRAPHIC TOOLS’:
