Abstract
Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker (one of the most significant dancers and choreographers in the 20th-21st century, had a huge impact on the exploration of the relationship between music and choreography. Her project Fase: Four Movements for the Music of Steve Reich sets the main framework for her style, where dance is defined by music and the choreographic composition reflects the complexity of the score. Using similar principles of composition to composer Steve Reich - repetition of motives, and subtle shifts, de Keersmaeker creates a visual representation, wherein time and space seem to conflate. In this presentation, I intend to refer to de Keersmaeker in the context of visual arts, considered as a visual artist whose performances have been shown in the most important museums of art, like MoMA in New York, Tate Modern in London or Centre Pompidou in Paris. The aim is to discuss selected issues related to similar practices in visual arts and music.
