Blank Spots (2018 / Revised in 2019)

 

Blank Spots is an electronic music piece for a solo dance performance created in collaboration with Lithuanian dancer and choreographer Lukas Karvelis. Karvelis himself said about the piece: «it deals with personal and collective identities. The performance consists of two parts which both challenge and complement each other. The first part features my alter ego Trisha which is a vulgar, extravagant individual constantly (re)inventing itself. Meanwhile, the second part inspired by Lithuanian folk culture and archetypes scrutinizes the collective identity often believed to be “given”. To what extent do I invent myself or to what extent am I a mere being – a product of my individual circumstances and collective context?»

​

The revised version of this piece was premiered on May 11th, 2019 at Arts Printing House (Vilnius). Commisioned by New Baltic Dance Festival.

Concept and choreography by Lukas Karvelis.
