This performance invites viewers into a journey through emotional and spiritual states of the main character. She is like an urban shaman who opens the intimate space of her living room, where she practices cosmic dances and astrological sessions. Valentine subtly changes her moods by alternating the tone of her stories and body tones. It is a show/spectacle that goes beyond the standard male-to-female opposition and simultaneously combines these two issues in one question on the border of gender discourse. She plays a game where gender is most apparent in the lights of love and her existential dilemmas. She exists in her own world, which is vulnerably exposed to the public. Valentine creates a community with a public as a ritual to confront her existential challenges.

Valentine Tanz is an experimental project created by Tomasz Foltyn - Polish choreographer, performer, physical thinker. It was carried out from February to June 2015 at Art Cafe Barakah Theatre in Krakow, Poland. The premiere took place on 15 February, the performance was also invited to the 16th Feminist And Q***r Festival in Ljubljana and Deuje Babe Festival in Cerkno in Slovenia.

If anyone is trained in Butoh, there is a music person that is looking for a dance collaborator. Check it out:
"East Bay sound artist looking to collaborate with a local dancer. The subject matter is the architecture of the female body as it goes through various stages of life with a strong focus on pregnancy, childbirth, and the aftermath. Agnes is hoping the choreography can be developed collaboratively. There will be multiple singers and minimal electronic music. The look is stark with minimal lighting highlighting portions of the dancer's body. Agnes is imagining the movement to be intricate and subtle along the lines of butoh and performance art. The performance will be at the soundwave festival summer of 2016." http://soundwavesf.com/7/soniclabs/
If interested, let us know and and we can connect you.

Dearest Pals,

We are coming out of our hiatus, and are looking to explore ideas of where to host our fall/summer SALTA shows! Ideally, this is a place we do not have to rent-- in alignment with our free economy situation. Warehouses, Roofs, your home, Galleries, places with or without walls......

Update soon for the MAY show. Can't wait to see you all.

XO
SALTA
