Professor Joe Alter’s international touring dance show will make a stop in San Diego next weekend for two free performances on campus
From the time we are newborns and into our senior years, touch plays a primary role in our physical and mental well-being.
“A lot of people were feeling depression and anxiety,” said Alter, who has taught and choreographed nationally, in east-central Europe and in Mexico. “We were all so alone because we were not able to connect with our communities. Any kind of touch, even a hand on a shoulder, matters when you are feeling that isolation and uncertainty.”In constructing the dance, Alter also considered the impact of social media on human relationships.
“Skin Hunger” is performed by four dancers from Poland: Daniela Komędera-Miśkiewicz, Mikołaj Karczewski, Piotr Stanek and Katarzyna Baran. More recently, his movement vocabulary is generated through a series of prompts and improvisational techniques.Alter sometimes references pioneering American choreographer William Forsythe, who is known for an approach to choreography that is born from the ballet vocabulary, but allows dancers to make choices about order and timing.
“Skin Hunger” doesn’t tell a story. Instead, Alter said he designed it to “evoke a sense of sensing.” In one section, the female dancers will vocalize in white voice, an ancient, open-throat sound indigenous to Eastern Europe.
