№ 3
Constanza Macras/Dorky Park is a dance company formed by the choreographer Constanza Macras.¶
Macras is from Argentina but founded Dorky Park in Berlin. The filming of this profile is currently in progress but we have some material from a day we spent with the company at their dress rehearsal at the Schaubuehne
Theater in Berlin, Germany•
ance is the ultimate visual medium for film. Through the various computer innovations contemporary
communication is often reduced to tweets and blurry skype images of facebook friends. We believe dance is the most direct form of artistic communication. It’s physical. The dancer uses their face and body to communicate to the audience…a story, their story perhaps…or maybe how they feel about the music they are dancing to. While music maybe a universal language it does leave some regionally specific meanings lost in translation. Dance at its purest, however, has the power to communicate in less uncertain terms, to seduce the audience with grace and to reach the viewer at a primal level.¶
