Re|Dance
Chicago, Illinois
Cause Description:
Creative partners, Lucy Riner and
Michael Estanich, established RE | Dance
Group in 2009 as a means to explore long
distance collaborations. They are
dedicated to the presentation of dance
theatre works that examine the many
facets of personal, intimate human
relationships. The instability and
uncertainty of charged relationships act
as symbols for living in a volatile,
contemporary world. We ground our
artistic philosophy in creative
exchange, seeking to expand our voices
as contemporary artists. We (along with
a growing number of collaborators) enjoy
an open process where all ideas are
shared, investigated, and then crafted
into dances that embody a heightened
physical experience rich with emotional
content and dramatic imagery. Our work
reflects a rigorous inquiry into the
body's capability for expression through
motion and movement—from the subtle to
the immense. The winding path from
imagined concept to physical reality to
audience experience intrigues us and
grounds our process. The creative
process is an ever evolving dynamic
between intention, honesty, intuition
and play.
Though we call Chicago homebase for RE |
Dance Group, the partnership rests on a
unique long distance collaboration.
Estanich lives in Stevens Point, WI,
while Riner is a Chicago based
independent artist. We became fascinated
with the idea of creating work in a new
way—generating movement material while
we were together and developing
characters or deepening our personal
understaniding of ideas while we were
apart. Through conversation and dialogue
we establish physical memories that
enrich our dancing and the relationships
created in the works.
