Amala Dianor: Dance is an exchange of energy and liberation

"As I understand it, for Dianor, dance performance comes down to an “exchange” (see above: a “search for self and we-us,for a ground for play” between performers). Exchangeis also where spectators meet the performance. Exchangegoes alsofor the creation process. During our chat, Dianor remarked, “When I do a choreography, I follow the idea from the transformation it undergoes in passing through the people who are interpreting it...”.

Centered on what he calls dance “energy” or “liberation”, Dianor is not looking for a form of dance, genre, genres, style orstyles. He’s met dance performance and Dance is an exchange of energy and liberation all around. That may be a very hiphop view, I think, but it is certainly Dianor’s considered personal and professional view."
