TIME FOR US by Fabien Prioville | The American Premiere

Back in Atlanta for a second collaboration with Tanz Farm, French Choreographer Fabien Prioville presented his new piece entitled “Time for Us” as part of France-Atlanta 2015.

Celebrated dancer and choreographer Fabien Prioville is known for his thought-provoking dances, born from imaginative views on social and interpersonal issues. In their first collaborative production, Prioville and his wife and dance partner Asuza Seyama describe what unites and divides them, confronting each other’s history as well as their own through the legacy of their teacher and mentor, the legendary German choreographer and dancer Pina Bausch (founder of Tanztheater Wuppertal).

Deeply influenced by Bausch and her virtuosic choreographies – and connected through their relationship and mutual work – Prioville and Seyama focus on the experience of two people meeting each other, in an exploration of time and space. More than a desire to stage a personal relationship between two people, “A Time for Us” is an invitation to question the dancers’ artistic references and identities. How do we meet? Where do we come from? What connects us? Is it possible to perform and move away from a legacy without dismissing it?

Presented by Tanz Farm and curated by Lauri Stallings & Anthony Harper, three performances were given on October 29, 30 and 31 at the Goat Farm Arts Center. Fabien Prioville also conducted a workshop entitled SHOP.
