PROJECT

Katie Vickers, Marcus Baldemar and Albert Quesada are collaborating with The Penguin Cafe to perform alongside the release of their new album coming out in July 2019. Currently, the band plays alone without any visual support, the goal of this project is to integrate dance into a pre-existing music concert. How dance can weave itself into the context and structure of a concert. 

The dancers do not directly dance to the music but allow their dancing to live beside the melody, both sound and movement have their own autonomy, yet together flow in a symbiotic way. The music of Penguin cafe is full of sonic landscapes, giving an endless mood to space, thus the dancers try not to override or dive into the music per se, but stay along the edges of it, asking how dance can be added to the environment rather than changing it.
