KUNSTKAMMER // Cabinet of Curiosities
AboutKunstkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities, is Dora’s new project with composer Peter Coyte, which allows them to frame their long collaboration as a response to the past, present and future. Kunstkammer fuses dance, spontaneous aural and movement composition and improvisation into performances, workshops, installations and conversations in and across different theatre and non- theatre settings, presenting their work to new audiences.
Launched on Thursday April 16th to a packed audience in Whitstable Umbrella Arts Centre, Kunstkammer is appearing at festivals, galleries, theatres and other events.
“The music was fab, had a really queer sensibility to it, and I enjoyed the chopping and changing aural and visual languages”

What People Are Saying
-
I loved it! I found the whole evening wonderfully eccentric: the slight incongruity between the dancers, the musicians, the space, the strange man with his cabinet, even the wildfire alert all contributed to the notion of a cabinet of curiosities that we were encouraged to enjoy. I'm no expert on contemporary dance, but I found the movement sections surprisingly moving, especially as the bodies onstage are rarely represented, and it felt as if there was a real strength in vulnerability.

The fan popping really reminded me of Kabuki, while your chair balances had a beautiful Trisha Brown-esque simplicity. Lovely to see you looking strong and full of life.

I loved it. You have real stage presence. You didn’t show any effort and you didn’t seem tired
