Collectif Busy Rocks
The Busy Rocks collective came into being in 2008 as a result of the shared interests and mutual influence of five modern dancers who had just finished their dance training at P.A.R.T.S. Franziska Aigner, Fabian Barba, Marisa Cabal, Tuur Marinus and Gabriel Schenker got to know each other and each other’s work during the four years they trained together, and wanted to continue their collaboration in the professional field, without allowing it to stand in the way of their individual careers.
What links them is their common interest in exploring different ways of producing and perceiving movement. This leads to different proposals of what a dancing and moving body can be. Through these interests, expectations that arise when bodies appear on stage are challenged and played with. The common perception of the dancer as a virtuoso self-propelling body, moving freely through empty, resistance-less space is challenged. They go in search of new challenges for the dancer/performer, both within the space and outside it.
