"PLAY, SING, DANCE" pop-up

The performance "PLAY, SING, DANCE pop-up" is a reflection of Baroque music in contemporary dance, interweaving vocal-chamber music from the Baroque era and contemporary dance improvisations. It is a creative synthesis of two art forms. Jana Zariņa (harpsichord, Latvia), Karolina Parmas (soprano, Lithuania) and Ana Novickaja (contemporary dance, Lithuania) teamed up for this project. The artists are united by the desire to find new forms of artistic expression and effective means of presenting professional art to the public in interesting ways. The pulse, rhythmic and harmonic subtleties dictated by early music are reflected in contemporary dance performer. With this performance, the performers aim to show that professionalism liberates people. Many hours of consistent work pays off - individuals who have developed the technical skills and elements of their field are free to improvise and create new ideas and products. Improvisation is the aspiration of Baroque music performance - true creative freedom and the core of mastery. It is an opportunity to see, analyse and appreciate this unexpected interaction between two cultural fields that are far apart in time. The performance features Baroque music and contemporary dance in one place in time - PLAY, SING, DANCE pop-up.
