INTERMISSION

Emerging Change Tanzfestival | Tanzfabrik Berlin / Wedding

Production Details / Press Releases

we have arrived at a well-deserved breaking point
where logic can tilt to a bend….
where dreams can spill out, linger and perhaps mend…
where like minds can ravenously surrender…
into gathering
…to reevaluate how time has misbehaved and the necessity of an
interruption.
this is the intermission.

vAL

vAL (he/him) is an adopted identity of artist Corey Scott-Gilbert. vAL’s agenda is to further understand the mental state from which creation springs; concerned with sketches of possibility unconfined by genre, gender, demographic or any other limitation placed on the individual by society. The artist’s personal history of movement serves as a vehicle for interrogating their own breath, often collaging word-play and physical utterance which often serve as the foundation for their multidisciplinary playgrounds. vAL uses each creative process as an opportunity to analyze and rediscover truths that forge beyond current conformities to make space for alternative realities of otherness. vAL highlights the absurdities of an abysmal, limiting and globally omnipresent social condition, presenting curated realities where joys are not sought after but rather devoured as a means to restore a malnourished existence. The work is made to lay adjacent to the conundrums of our current world and reflect hopes that align with catharsis.
