moshi moshi / dance
‘moshi moshi’ is a short dance/physical theatre piece about communication.
It had its premier in 2013 at ANATOMY NIGHT (Summer Hall, Edinburgh) and developed in 2014 during a residency in Dance Base.
Being aware or not we are constantly communicating things. Our choices are always sending some kind of message to the world. As recipients we are not always able to understand the message, but we keep communicating all the time: the shape of our bodies, the way we walk, things we decide to eat, music we love to listen to, the clothes we decide to wear, the moment that we can’t hold back the tears, the people we are getting pissed off at. These are all messages of who we are and what we want and need in life.

The words ‘moshi moshi’ are used by Japanese people when answering the phone and can sometimes be used to get someone’s attention. It can roughly be translated as ‘hello’. ‘moshi moshi’ is a signal of readiness sent after picking up the phone, it means: ‘I am here ready to hear’. This piece is an attempt of portraying visible and evident as well as hidden and deeper aspect of communication through the language of moving body, gestures and sounds.
