Pavlos Kountouriotis

TWO BOBS AND A STEVE

Two men, one score, two saws, one falls. Propelled by their inability to let go, these two men dash to rush with all they have got to grab anything they find that can help them keep on going. This is just another example; an otherwise obsessive, geeky score with the most expected outcome. Immersed within the world of Steve Reich, their goal is to find the human within the mathematical function of the score and to discover the immanent dramaturgies emerging from within this inanimate system.

Pavlos Kountouriotis

studied at the Laban Centre and at Leiden University, did his post-doc research at P.A.R.T.S. and completed his doctorate at the University of Roehampton. He is a passionate proponent of logical thinking and is interested in systems that exhaust themselves. He has worked e.g. with Trisha Brown, Ron Athey, Mårten Spångberg, Ann Liv Young, Boris Charmatz and Mehmet Sanders.

During his K3-residency, Pavlos will deal with scores as discursive systems, whose components are engaged in a constantly shifting dialogue. Based on a differentiation between mechanism and organism, he will explore aspects of mathematics, vitality and interplay.
