Réka Oberfrank: Miracle - special edition

The young choreographer steps out to public space for the first time when presenting the public space version of her sweepingly dynamic show Miracle, originally presented in a theatre space.

The choreography explores the bodies of the dancers, the highlighting of parts of their bodies, and the infinite possibilities of connection, merging with an intense inner journey. Miracle – special edition is a street performance where the dancers start away from each other, begin to gravitate towards each other as they make their own way inside the body. Their communication takes place between body parts, which eventually harmonise with the movements of their partners, until they become a common, dynamic force. The unity eventually merges, the individual dissolves into the community and conquers the space available.

The public space version of the performance extends the scope of this space available to the city, and other bodies – human or non-human – are inevitably getting into the constellation alongside the dancers’ bodies.

Réka Oberfrank is an independent dancer, choreographer and teacher. She earned her BA degree in contemporary choreography and her MA degree in dance pedagogy at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy. Then she studied at The Danish National School of Performing Arts in Copenhagen, and gained further professional experience the Spanish CobosMika Seeds Formation. She has been the member of Willand Leo improvisation collective in Budapest since 2021. She started teaching improvisation in 2018 at Workshop Foundation as well as
creative movement at pre-schools.
