„The key to longevity is learning every aspect of [dance] that you can“ ( Prince )
“KISS” for three dancers has evolved along Prince's posthumously released album “Piano & A Microphone 1983”. The choreography by Kasia Wolinska, which premiered at 2022 SENSE series at Radialsystem, presents dance as a driving force, a joyful expression of being alive. Prince’s remarkable ability to move between aesthetics, as well as the diversity of the musical language of this album, serve as a compositional and narrative basis. The choreography expertly plays with techniques, qualities and colours of dance in a variety of ways to recapture its affective potential and musicality, thereby invoking the invigorating experience of dance.
