In the solo project “Closing WIP”, dancer Camilla Fiumara reflects on the past two years of global pandemic and on the different emotions, the boredom and the emptiness she experienced during this time. The isolation and the long time spent at home influence her dance by affecting the movements that are characterised by a sort of minimalism, staccato quality and body isolations, and by attempts to express the affects of the lockdowns.
In accounting “Closing WIP” stands for what is left over after a period, not to be thrown away, but simply yet to be completed. With this project, Camilla wants to gather up those pieces, not yet put to work, and make the leftover, the un-productivity, the central topic of the dance.
