B FIELD

Premiered at Teatro do Bairro Alto, Lisbon, 2023

Choreography, performance and costume by Lorea Burge

Sound design in collaboration with Bobby Brim

Space and light design in collaboration with Mariana Catalina Iris

​

If I were a musician, what sort of music would I like to make? With what I have, what sort of music can i make?

B Field brings these questions to an enquiry into solo making, led by desire and inspired by the absurd and insistent masc self-sufficiency of ‘one-man bands’. A live excavation of sounds and beats reveals an attempt to build a song worthy of a night-club dance floor, thus creating my very own ‘one-(wo)man band’.

​

'(…) One of the strengths of this work that asserts itself as a "kind of love letter to do-it-yourself" is its minimalist concentration - just a performer moving to produce sounds and producing sounds to move. [Lorea} uses her very presence in that space the way a gymnast uses their equipment to break records. She gives us the feeling of being exactly where she wanted to be, without disguise or excuse, with the contagious confidence of an emerging pop star.' - Alex Cassal (director, author and dramaturg)

 

Developed within PACAP 6 – Performing Arts Advanced Programme, curated by Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz and promoted by Forum Dança.

RITUAL

By Unbaptised Infants (Lorea Burge, Hannah Parsons & Josefina Rozenwasser), 2021-2022.

 

RITUAL is an immersive sonic dance performance, and a ritual for letting go.

A simple and powerful performance work utilising repeated actions of primitive expressions of the body. Embodied reenactments of grief, joy and exaltation are rhythmically crafted to entice and hypnotise the audience. Using sand filled bras that spill from the nipples, the performers cast a circle encasing the intimate audience for the ritual to take place. Through telepathic powers and spells, the performers release their audience from their offerings, generating a new sense of revival and catharsis.

 

Designed to be performed in the round for two simultaneous audiences: one participatory audience of 8 people, placed in an intimate circle where the ritual takes place; The other, spectator audience, surrounds the space in an outer ring.

TRACKS

By Unbaptised Infants (Lorea Burge and Hannah Parsons), 2019.

​

TRACKS is a concept album of songs, dances and poems. Part-ritual, part-gig, part-dance show, audiences are welcomed into this odd universe in a temporary incubation of collective grief, celebration and discombobulation. Together we expel our internal chaos through rhythm, harmony and not-quite-harmony, re-ordering it into something that feels more or less coherent

​

​

​

"Every now and then a performance comes along that stands out for its originality and integrity; the choreographic and musical material formed into TRACKS by Lorea Burge and Hannah Parsons of Unbaptised Infants, is one." 

- Nicholas Minns, Writing About Dance. Full review here.

​

Supported by SET Studios and TripSpace.
