Holguin: Codanza’s New Season with World Premiere

With the world premiere of “Feelings: Odyssey of the Mind,” in collaboration with Austrian choreographer Mike Loewenrosen. Codanza‘s new season of performances returns to Holguin this Saturday.

Vianki González Miranda, the company’s director, explained to CNA that the work will be a representation of different emotional levels. Reflected through Loewenrosen’s point of view, opening a new perspective for the audience and inviting them to explore forms of emotions beyond borders.

The feelings are not explained through a story, but are expressed by the dancers from the very beginning. The audience will not be distracted and will be able to become aware of their own emotional experiences, she explained.

The performances, which will run until the 27th, will also include the pieces “Boomerang Effect,” performed by Xavienna Campos Rodríguez and Salet Aguilera Pérez, students from the Elementary School of Dance and the Poiesis project;

“The Little House Was Sold,” a version of Robert Priore’s original; and “Filters,” choreographed by Vianki González.

González Miranda highlighted the importance of creating pieces like “Sentimientos” and connecting students with them. Leading them to open their bodies and experiences in contemporary dance to new styles and rhythms, such as classical.

Mike Loewenrosen, who is collaborating with Cuban companies for the third time, highlighted the importance of working with young dancers. Who are still perfecting their techniques but possess a discipline and dedication that directly engages them with the piece.

The performances, part of the celebration of International Dance Day, are a tribute to dance offered by Codanza and the Raúl Gómez García Elementary Art School, and are under the artistic and general direction of Vianki González.
