37ºC
Taking body temperature as a love metaphor.
This is Jo's 3rd choreography from her Singular Series which has started in USA in 2009 exploring Existence as a single individual.
37ºC takes body temperature as a metaphor and investigate how an individual can shift from a normal to abnormal state of mind due to the loss of a relationship. According to this idea, Jo designed a set of formula.
If: 1 person = 37°C = Normal
Formula One:
[ 1 person ] + [ 1 person ] = [ 37ºC ] + [ 37ºC ] > Normal = Abnormal
[ 1+1 ] person(s) = [ 37+37 ] ºC > Normal = Abnormal
Based on Formula One, I calculated Formula Two:
[ 1+1 ] person(s) - [ 1 ] person = [ 37+37 ] ºC - 37°C = Back to Normal
[ 1 ] person = 37°C = Back to Normal
The piece has also experimented having 4 dancers' body in expressing an individual's abnormal emotional shift between moments.
