During her residency at Frascati Producties Amparo Gonzalez Sola is working on her new creation While Taking Shape. From the need of insisting on the question of what it means to bear witness, this dance performance dives deeper into questions of connection and responsibility. On March 7th Amparo concludes her residency with a presentation in studio 2. 

Amparo Gonzalez Sola approaches these concerns by bringing our attention to small gestures. She invites us to observe gestures as portals or possible connectors. Together with the performers she explores ways of tracing the memories gestures carry by embodying them, slowing them down, pausing, and reshaping them: What pasts and futures are hidden on them? In which way a gesture held in one body is connected to other gestures, held by other bodies?  

While Taking Shape is invested in the multiple relationships between gaze, distance and proximity, and the roles they play within spaces of witnessing.
