SIN RED [no net] is an experimental, temporary, dance and movement research company. It was created by ruby onyinyechi amanze as part of a non-traditional exhibition invitation; to display a project/process/exploration rooted in the raw, the unfinished, the vulnerability of secret inquiries and the questions of making as opposed to a polished production.
Dance has been an active, yet somewhat subtle, part of my drawing research and practice for many years. It first began in collaboration with others for whom it was a very public aspect of their artistic identity. The desire to make dance companies and dance performances began approximately five years ago, while working on a commissioned project where I was invited to “take a risk”. SIN RED is the second company I’ve created. The first being THE DECK, which performed its first and last work, tell me a way you pretend to be strong in Reggio Emilia, Italy in 2021.
Why does one need a dance company to produce a dance? For me, an artist not typically working in the medium of dance, the framework of the company is an essential part of the work. Methodology housed under the structure of impermanence is a core inquiry; as well as research [finding truth, novelty, shape, discomfort and joy in movement], collaboration and play. A company is a way to legitimize the work, while also mocking that same legitimacy. The dissolution of the company is woven into the onset; the destruction of order existing in parallel with its development. We are serious and unserious all in one and I find that space liberating and fertile.
In experimental and intuitive collaboration with co-choreographer and principal dancer, Tania Solomonoff, we investigated themes of breath, the body as a container from which things could be metaphysically removed or placed, the grace and power of olympic lifts and the ancient analogue instrument of hands clapping in collective form. Playing with the structures of task, stillness, improvisation and score, vocabulary was generated from this research and organized in sequence and play.
