\u201cBody Notes is an improvisational journey to all possible stage expression forms. It feels deep in the body and soul, shakes, stretches, amuses and moves you.\u00a0Body Notes is an extremely visual, clownery, butoh dance, sound art, and martial arts-driven trip to the possibilities of the human body.\u201d

MimoArt Company\u2019s debute BODY NOTES combines dance, theatre and new clownery in\u00a0unforeseen way. The piece has its foundation in the dialogue of arts, built on the idea of the\u00a0comprehensiveness of the work. This manifests itself in improvisational play as well as in the\u00a0seamless collaboration of beautifully executed movement, visual aspects, and the soundscape.<\/p>\n
The work operates in the terrain of butoh, contemporary dance, physical mime, new clownery,\u00a0visual theatre and sound art with each one commenting on the others. The ensemble\u2019s language\u00a0of movement places its trust in the present moment, improvisation, and the performer\u2019s art that\u00a0originates in the persona of each individual.<\/p>\n
BODY NOTES is an interplay between different traditions, genres and art forms, illusions and\u00a0realistic minimalism. By using these elements this all-encompassing piece takes the viewer into a\u00a0visual and physical world \u2013 to the fine lines that separate the grotesque, the beautiful, and the\u00a0comical.<\/p>\n
BODY NOTES was premiered in 2017 and it was praised by the audience and art critics. The piece\u00a0WAS AWARDED AS THE BEST PIECE of the International physical theatre festival in Macedonian\u00a0National Theatre 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis multidisciplinary performance challenge in a fresh way the seriousness that art dance traditionally\u00a0has.\u201d\u00a0Voima Magazine, 2017<\/p>\n
BODY NOTES is a painting, a poem without words, and a quirky ode for different moving and sonic\u00a0bodies.<\/p>\n
