"Triple-edged circle" is a movement performance (sketch) that explores the process of transformation through repetition. It is the result of an artistic research that explores how movement can become a fundamental source of creative ideas and attempts to reveal the inner experiences encoded in movement. This artistic research/performance was inspired by Gabrielle's desire to make sense of intuitive movement. The repetition of movement emerged as an exploratory tool to understand the potential of one movement and the possibilities for its further development by discovering as many variations as possible. Variations naturally become a process of transformation, and repetitive movements bring the possibility of a meditative state that contains subconscious (hard to name) images that can further influence the transformation of the movement and become a source of ideas.
About Gabrielle:
Gabrielle Emily Aidulis began the 2015 season dancing with Aura Contemporary Dance Theatre. Later, she decided to expand her knowledge abroad and enrolled at ArtEZ University of the Arts, where she completed her BA in Dancer/Creator and interned with choreographer Ann Van den Broek at WArd/waRD in 2020. Since then Gabrielle has been working as a freelance dancer and choreographer, creating her own work and performing in other choreographers' productions. She works closely with German choreographer Jonas Frey on urban dance performances. She is also exploring the fusion of house dance and ballet with choreographer and dancer Joseph Simon.
She is looking for unusual forms of movement in her work that go beyond the usual stylistic frameworks, experimenting with abstraction. Her work invites viewers to interpret the works through personal experiences, hoping to evoke an emotional response, stimulate the imagination and free them from reality. At the same time, she believes that even abstract works are inevitably interpreted through the prism of social or political themes that are relevant to the audience, as this is what naturally happens in the current context.
