"Timeless in Space"

"Timeless in Space" is a contemporary dance live installation, created by the dancer and choreographer Aldina Topcagic. 

Art Alive creates a unique performative dialog, which relates to the existing artwork in the museum. It is a transformation of material art (paints, sculptures, visual installations, etc.) into living art, through performance, dance, sound scape, and live music. It is highly important for the team to remain open and ever listening to what the space, the existing artwork inside and every layer of reality in the room are giving as a form of inspiration and creativity, instead of pursuing preconceived ideas on what is creative and original to them. 

The artists are a channel between the material artwork and each visitor. With their performance, they are increasing the perception of the visitors, while stimulating their senses of vision, hearing, smell, touch, balance, thermoception, sensuality and internal senses. Those are reaching out to the subconsciousness and the consciousness of each individual so that the visitor of the museum experiences artwork in a new dimension. The understanding and the impression of the artwork reaches a new level - this is achieved by activating the exteroceptive and interoceptive senses at the same time. The people in the space are not anymore only outstanding viewers, but they become an interactive part of the exhibited space and the artwork.

"The energy starts from somewhere far away, flows through her body and keeps on floating out far, never stopping the flow, connecting everything... fascinating."  

by Klara Ronai, Graz Austria 2016

"The dancer of the Project "Timeless in Space", succeeds to wake up an Impression in myself as a spectator, which mainly lives by the contrast between the matter of space - the static part and the passionate but also graceful movements of the vulnerable warm body of the dancer. It wakes up the association how the dancing body is fullfiling the space with life."
