Amador Alina Folini (DAS Choreography, Academy of Theatre and Dance) completed their graduation project “THE STUDY…”, a triptych that traces their journey through DAS Choreography. This work explores the intersections of dance, body, and voice across physical, sonic, poetic, and political dimensions. The triptych consists of three interconnected pieces: a solo performance, a trio performance, and a film.

The solo performance “RUIDO ROSA / PINK NOISE” deconstructs binaries like natural vs. technological and physical vs. mechanical by interweaving the human voice with electronic sounds.

The trio performance “AEROMANCY” is a sensory concert of rhythms reflecting on shared space and breathing. Performers and audience navigate the space subtly, negotiating presence and interaction.

Lastly the film “YOU DON’T NEED TO FLY TO TOUCH A TOXIC CLOUD” is a visual journey that connects human and geological time through explorations of air and earth landscapes, intertwining bodies with environmental narratives.

Together, these works offer a poetic and profound investigation into how we experience space, sound, and physical presence.

Jeroen Fabius, artistic directorDAS Choreography: “Together the works give testimony of the thorough and persistent inquiry into the relations between dance, body, and voice across various dimensions: physical, sonic, vocal, sensorial, poetic, environmental and political. (…) in the work there is boldness and steady but gentle urgency, that can be described as fierceness.”

Joy Mariama Smith, performance artist, activist, facilitator, curator: “Alina’s works act as a map for a complex constellation of thoughts, feelings, and ideas. These notions were passed through, via touching/feeling/breathing in their creative process, which is relevant not only an act of resistance but also as something that is gross-genre, considering that the practices that Alina names and also inhabit are linked by the notion that they nourish each other.”

Amparo González Sola, choreographer: “I am impressed by the way Alina approached in a very concrete way issues that could seem abstract, translating concepts and ideas into movement practices and choreographic tools. By placing air and breath as the fundamental matter of their research, Alina opens up a universe of questions about the way in which humans coexist, transform, infect, heat, intoxicate, refresh, oxygenate each other's bodies and environments, whether they want it or not.”
