Prague Chamber Ballet will present a new original project Occam’s Razor on Tuesday 10th December in Ponec Theatre. The first season of this project will introduce selected young dancers and choreographers – Nikol Šneiderová (PCB), Šimon Kubáň (PCB) and Palo Kršiak (HAMU). All three gained possibility to professionally create in the Prague Chamber Ballet under the expert supervision of Prague Chamber Ballet and Academy of Performing Arts educators. The author of the concept is the new artistic director of the company Hana Polanská Turečková.A triple bill evening will offer three works, which are based on expression only by the means of dance and movement theater. This is supported by strong visuals (simply conceived scene or elaborate costumes) and music. Authors of choreography exclude themselves from the normal production of today's Czech dance scene by focusing on physicality and symbol (especially in movement vocabulary and partially also in costumes). Their work is based on a knowledge of top works of the past (Palo Kršiak: Eros), changing the mind set of today's world in the astral dimension (Šimon Kubáň: 2nd Chapter) and the search for simplicity and accuracy of physical expression (Nikol Šneiderová: Intellectual).
Why Occam´s razor? The title is selected on basis of criteria, which we require from new generation of choreographers. “Precision, simplicity of statement, clarity of the topic, strike with appeal on intellectually focused viewer, emphasis on movement analysis, movement exploration of strong visual image. Be distinctive against everything – be different! This striking title appeals on share of intellect within creative work and liberates the work from everything that does not belong there – it is a signal – clear message,” the supervisor of the new project Hana Polanská Turečková says. “It is a principle of logical efficiency, it is about the fact that all insignificant must be cut off, because it is not necessary not to hear the song due to huge noise.”
