CONTEMPORARY DANCE PERFORMANCE
CRADLED / LOLOJUMS
CRADLED: A FINISHED ACTION, THE RESULT OF CRADLE
DEFINITION: THAT WHICH HAS BEEN CRADLED, GROWN, TENDED TO
TO CRADLE DEFINITION:
1) TO TEND TO CAREFULLY, AND WITH LOVE
2) TO THINK ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME (OF SOMETHING GOOD), HOPING THAT IT WILL COME TRUE
THE PERFORMANCE IS ABOUT VIEWING YOURSELF, LOOKING INWARDS, INTO THE REFLECTION OF OUR INNER "ME". WE CAN LOOK AT THE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF WHO WE THINK WE ARE, AND AS WE WATCH IT DEFORM, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE FURTHER INTO THE DEPTHS OF OURSELVES. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE WORLD IN A SLOWER MANNER, TAKING TIME TO REALLY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. THE HOPE THAT WE CAN FIND PEACE WITHIN OURSELVES IF ONLY WE STOP FOR A WHILE

"Sometimes you don't need much - not on stage, or in life. And maybe sometimes, when talking about art, it's not necessary to talk through a sea of words. .. Personally, for me, the show was like a haiku that had transformed into movement and the atmosphere around it, which is why I've reincarnated my inspiration and this review into "Haikus* of Cradle"
I
Risen from water
I carry rivers within
Slowly they vapour
II
I have been cradled
But left alone. Now and then
I am scared of life
III
It causing no storms
In a pool of emotions
The water ripples
IV
Rocks of misgiving
I am dandling within me
As phantoms of peace
..
I sincerely hope that everyone, who hasn't had the opportunity to see "Cradled", will have that opportunity. Somewhere, sometime."- Annija Broniča
