ZOO - THOMAS HAUERT

The concept of trust, central to ZOO's choreography project, also translates into the company's structure and working process. ZOO works as a collective, where every dancer contributes his own creativity to the group. Every dancer is free, but at the same time responsible.However, the structure is not horizontal: on top of the dancers'individual reality stands a shared reality, proposed by Thomas Hauert.This common trust in the initial proposal is essential for the project, because it allows acceptance of the apparent chaos in the process. The discomfort caused by the lack of conventional authority becomes comfort from the moment we accept that we cannot have everything under control.
