Equilibrium is not a finished work but a laboratory experiment proposed in the Colina 2004 residence, with the choreographer Rui Horta. The approach is that of an instrument/dance performance, where the dancer generates sound and image from the manipulation of a scenographic object.As the equilibrium is determinant in a body performance, particularly in dance, the initial objective was to propose a study on how a dancer would behave when subjected to the constant balance between the different phases of equilibrium/disequilibrium.A platform was constructed so that it would behave as a bidimensional swing, using a set of sheaves. On the inferior face of the platform an inclinometer was installed in order to measure the changing angles, thus controlling the digital image and sound generation. The dancer Lígia Teixeira was suspended by a cable which allowed her to find a precarious stability in the center of the platform.Concept | Construction: Ivan FrancoGuest performer: Lígia TeixeiraColina 2004, Espaço do Tempo, Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, 2004
