Showing of Temporal Spaces, a choreogaphic spatial installation in collaboration with COSA MENTALE.
https://www.stl.ee/lisaprogramm/residentuurid/modina-temporal-spaces
Max Levy Choreographic Works and Cosa Mentale invite you to Temporal Spaces, a multimedia dance installation about self-witness; to explore one's body through the fragility of space, memory, senselessness and narrative.
Balancing the peace between too much noise and too much silence, this audiovisual experience focuses on the seen, the unseen, the heard, and the lost, guiding one's curiosity to reveal the nuances of selectivity in: How do we compose ourselves through the preciousness of simplicity and chaos? What do we move, and what moves us? When we begin, how do we begin? Will we find the clarity to stop? And when will we decide to begin anew?
Partnered with an AI-driven body and pattern recognition system, gaps in the infallibility of technology peek through. Inaccuracies and misnomers become part of our scrutiny on perception and exactitude. Sequences emerge as our bodies and actions are recognized and reorganized, our pasts misremembered, replayed and disintegrated. As the AI's ambiguous methods paint a patterned matrix, we wonder if the narratives of our own pasts are any less fabricated. As we reframe our histories with each new experience, are we remembering the right choices? Will we ever remember, or be remembered, for the things that mattered most to us?

2-month Residency with MODINA in Talinn, Estonia for Temporal Spaces, a choreogaphic spatial installation in collaboration with COSA MENTALE.
Step into an immersive dance world with Max Levy and Celia Bétourné’s Temporal Spaces, a multimedia installation that empowers the audience to become the dancer, choreographer, and viewer of their own iterative choreographic work. The project emphasizes the interplay between the seen and the unseen, creating unique zones with distinct rules and feedback triggers that allow the audience to interact and play with movement generation through visual and acoustic feedback. With no professional performers, the project highlights the active role of the audience in producing a collective visualization of movement captured in space. Leveraging affordable arrays of webcams as infrared sensors and AI to parse data through facial, body, and object recognition, the project merges the audience’s curiosity and playfulness with AI’s own playful interpretations of movement to archive real-time, iterative interactivity as visualized choreography. Alternating between phases of interaction and observation, the installation encourages the witnessing of self to iterate further on collective inquiry in an immersive environment.
Sleepdancing: Daydream, a day-time relaxation version of The Open Palm, performed as part of Nachtsicht Festival, Stuttgart.
Information: https://www.nachtsichtfestival.de/
Max Levy is a choreographer, dancer, and artist. His dance piece "Sleepdancing ~ Daydream," performed by Max Levy and Stuttgart dancer Stella Covi, brings collective calmness into a public setting. It combines performance, music, atmosphere, and performers in a unique environment that blurs the boundaries between meditation, relaxation, and sleep, where the lines between spectators, reality, and the dream world become blurred.

Embark on a journey under the direction of Sophie Vergères (CH), with guest choreographers Marioenrico D'Angelo (IT) and Max Levy (USA/JP), through the writings of Bernese poet Eva Maria Leuenberger. The choreographic trio clamber through valley, swamp and ravine, encountering vanishing bodies and sunken worlds. Accompanied by the music of Philipp Rumsch (DE), three choreographic voices merge to extract skin, bone and breath back into the light. What remains is a dance work that ponders the ebbing of our bodies; a celebration of decay and absence.
