ORNELLA PRIETO
Dancer | Performer
Bellow you can find the projects I am currently part of or have done in the past.
Katja Heitmann/This is not a show: MUSEUM Motus Mori
Motus Mori is an attempt to preserving human movement.
In 2019 I have started an internship as a dancer for this production and am now continuing this adventure as a professional dancer.
We are touring in the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Belgium 1 France.
Kalpanarts - True Life
Kalpanarts creates performances in which the dance style Bharatanatyam is combined with contemporary dance.
True Life is a musical dance performance about death and the celebration of life. In the space where death defies the living, consoles and challenges, six dancers and a musician, Shishani Vranckx (vocals & guitar), give an expressive performance.
I have taken part in this project as a repetitor and as second cast.
Skypunch Collective - NAÎAD
SKYPUNCH COLLECTIVE, formed by dance makers Celine Werkhoven & Anna Zurkirchen and composer Antonio Alemanno, created a floating performance installation in collaboration with architect Ad Roefs.
In NAÎAD, two female creatures appear at the top of a mirrored cliff. With an alienating dance, bodies and limbs twisting and turning in impossible ways, they lure drowning people out of the water. As they try to climb the cliff, a game unfolds between holding on and letting go, seducing and pushing away, drowning and rising again.
Maureen Jonker: Compositions Of Transformations #2
In Compositions of Transformations #2 performers retain certain physical positions for an indefinite period of time. These positions fit perfectly in a frame created to match the ratio of the human body and they are enfolded by pipes that are incorporated within the frame. The figures and physical positions are alternated continuously. The work is set up and deconstructed without an indication of a time stamp.
This work was on display during the This Art Fair in Amsterdam in August 2021.
Ischa Statie/LazySusan & Co:
Waar Wij Zijn
Waar Wij Zijn is a collaboration between the choreographer Ischa Statie and the Rotterdam based collective Lazy Susan & Co.
