TO PLAY WITH ONE\u2019S (OWN) PERCEPTION<\/h1>\n

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVE<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 DIEGO TORTELLI IN CONVERSATION WITH HIS AUDIENCE<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his new dance piece Shifting Perspective<\/em>, which premiered on February 28, 2019, at Muffathalle in Munich, Diego Tortelli speaks about how deeply today\u2019s communication processes are determined by the media, by rapid change, by moments of distance and intimacy between people. The audience is invited to assume difference perspectives throughout the live performance, and to play with its own habits of perception. Julia Opitz met the choreographer after a showing a week before the premiere to talk about the piece.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

JULIA OPITZ: Hello Diego. What is the title Shifting Perspective all about, what\u2019s hidden behind it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DIEGO TORTELLI: Because my piece addresses a particularly young audience, I asked myself what determines a young person\u2019s attitude towards life today. Is it something that I may no longer be able to do and that I could be jealous of? I thought about things like imagination, indulgence, creativity, a carefree life, and above all thought about the fact that young people are often not yet pinned down: they ignore rules, change their points of view, and can more easily assume different perspectives. I found these phenomena and their way of communicating very intriguing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

JO: How did you proceed once you had decided upon the topic? What did your research look like? <\/strong><\/p>\n

DT: I did a lot of research online, on social media platforms. When we began with our second rehearsal phase, we also created our own Instagram
\naccount,\u00a0@yourownperspective<\/a>, in order to make different work stages of our rehearsal process visible. We in addition used the account to ask young people about their experience with dance, about their favorite music and about unforgettable moments in their lives. We wanted to learn more about how they select the images they post, and what role light and color play for the composition of an image. It was important to us to invite them to participate in the process of developing the piece and to share their associations, thoughts, and photographic language with us. Because I followed their posts, I was able to capture a very specific atmosphere. We consciously decided that we did not simply want to create a piece \u2018about them,\u2019 the \u2018teenagers,\u2019 but instead sought to create something inspired by them. Through this approach, and also through conversations I had with my nephew, who is sixteen, I was inspired to produce stage material that would enable me to generate, together with my dancers, a physicality, a formal language that describes rapidly transforming phenomena and processes of change. This research was equally crucial to Francesco and his composition process. It was an approach that was unusual for me and thus also changed my perspective on my own work \u2013 and that is something that meaningful on a very personal level.<\/p>\n
