Resonant Bodies is a live performance for solo drums and two dancers that poetically combines music and dance. The piece tells of the metamorphosis of three individuals who discover their inner being and, as sentient beings, begin to recognise each other and enter into a dialogue that becomes more and more intense as the piece progresses. Rhythm is experienced as a universal means of self-expression that harbours an existential power. In the stage premiere of the piece, dancer/choreographer Hannah Schillinger and drummer/ composer Nathan Ott explore the symbiotic relationship between music and dance in three acts and seven phases.
The cinematic realization of the piece began in July 2024 in collaboration with Kai Ehlers and was carried out during a two-day production at Tonstudio Monochrom in southern Poland. The result is a unique 35-minute perspective on Resonant Bodies, which is set to be released in spring 2025 as the second publication on An:Bruch.
