Imagine the fusion of two worlds that are, at least on the surface, opposites: mathematics and contemporary dance. Now visualise what is happening around you: some things are predictable while others happen completely at random. Now follow Bianca Berger’s choreography, which translates all the concepts linked to these probabilities into movement: bodies are functions, movements are numbers, and events are subsets.
Introducing Bi-tà. An invitation to enter a space of probability where dance, music, and mathematics come together.
“Throughout my career as a dancer, I’ve felt the need to integrate a scientific perspective into my dance practice. This has led me to study mathematics at the University of Bologna. Despite the obvious differences, I found significant similarities between dance and maths. This revelation led me to explore the possible interactions between the two disciplines and the connections that could help them be mutually enriching. That’s why, in my creations, I use mathematics as a tool to generate dramaturgy, choreography, and movement.”
