Introduction
In the latest work from the Greek choreographer and long-term Robert Wilson collaborator, “the only sure thing is change”.
In “recalculate”, the third work from the klokworks company, four dancers seek a path which they keep changing as their actions create new destinations. Of course, the same could be said of Marianna Kavallieratos, who has been working with the celebrated avant-garde director, Robert Wilson, for two decades now.
The Greek dancer and choreographer has already blazed her own trail, exploring the compositional movement and geometry of bodies in dance. Her interests lie in form, structure and action, simplicity and abstraction. And what of meaning? Could she be alluding to the contemporary quotidian in which action is not a conscious choice for some or serves as a way of evading thought?
Might her images refer to a world in flux in which constant changes of direction have become inevitable? The choreographer leaves her symbolisms open-ended, insisting that “We don’t have to understand everything in Art. We just need to be there”.
Since 1992 she is a collaborator and participant at the Watermill Center of the Arts and Humanities in Watermill Southampton NY. She has performed as a dancer at the following Robert Wilsons plays: "T.S. Eliot", "Une Femme Douce", 'Persephone", "The Days Before DDD III", "Wings on Rock", "Prometheus", "Alcestis" (the opera ), "Relative Light", "Odyssey".
She danced with the company ‘Kobalt works’ in Brussels for 3 years. In 2010 she presented her first choreographic work at the Athens festival with the piece "Moment". This work was also performed at the Guggenheim Museum in the series "Works and Process", a collaborative evening with selected artist from the Watermill Center, curated by Robert Wilson, and in the festival "Satellart-transmitting Greece" in Milan, in May 2012.In July 2012 she choreographed the dance piece "Auto Run", for The Athens Festival.
She has been a dance and movement teacher at ‘Veaki’ school of drama, ‘Embros’ school of drama, and has given a dance workshop at the summer Academy of The Greek National Theatre. She also teaches dance classes in several studios in Athens, and the summer program movement class of the Watermill Center in New York.
