Review
From Broadway Baby - by Jenny Johnston on 10th August 2014
Motion&Motion is a visually stunning masterpiece. Enter into a dark, geometric world of movement, colour and light. As two female dancers emerge, the white stage transforms into
an otherworldly space. Images begin on the floor and then spill onto the bodies of the dancers who move with technical precision. Everything is focused around a dynamic circular
centre. The dancer’s weave through different patterns and colourful shapes expand and grow. This hypnotising use of light and movement creates a beautiful setting. Tilted seats
present the audience with a bird’s eye view of the action. Some people chose to stand in order to get a better view.
The combination of the technology with the dancers worked extremely well together.
The constant flux of movement makes it hard to establish a stable connection. Representing how the mind is never truly settled. Especially in the fast paced modern world where
everything is becoming increasingly digitalised. The dancers present a complicated struggle for intimacy. This piece explores a network of connections through a sophisticated use
of light, sound, and images. A poignant moment for me was when the dancers are eventually still and lie on the ground. Long numbers are projected across their bodies so stillness
is never quite achieved.
The use of sound worked very well with the images, ranging from fast digital noise to gentle piano notes. The lighting becomes a character in itself, present throughout the whole
duration of the performance. The combination of the technology with the dancers worked extremely well together.
The overall impact of the production was magical. The theatre was busy and the dancers received an excellent response from the audience. Motion & Motion is a superb piece of
physical theatre with beautiful visuals and a thought provoking message
Everything runs so fast. Thoughts, communication, numbers, dates. We live in the
digital society, in the internet and social network society. A global community where
“all” means “one”, where personal individuality and
emotions are progressively amalgamated with the crowd.
We are constantly connected but can we really communicate?
Motion&Motion wants to highlight the feelings, the power of relationships set free by
physicality, the energy
created in the meeting of two bodies, the uniqueness of individual emotions. Slowing
the daily frenzy,
Motion&Mottion brings the audience into an emotional dimension that reopens the doors
to the feelings, cause heart is a slow technology that needs to live feelings.
Different experience and different background are the key of our team:
two choreographers, one video maker, two musicians and an event organizer.
From movement to sound, from color to rhythm, from music to body, from drawing to
gesture. And just by mixing these elements this project was born.
We are looking for a shared space, a space that is the meeting point of
our different forms of art, where the audience is wrapped in a storm of images and
sounds losing the boundaries from body to colors, where the body harmony is
an interior vibe and the voice becomes just a warm melody.

Jessica Incerti Telani has been working in the field of video projection and video
graphics for 6 years. Her work is primarily focused on the interpretation of surfaces
and context: both in public and private events, she create project where light and
shadow, colour and sound, reality and fiction are mixed to reinterpret buildings and
environments. Through its special attention to the figure in movement she is able to
enhance the choosen surfaces with visual stories of fine workmanship.
Her research is mainly and exquisitely based on emotion: the narrative in motion
pictures in her work begins and ends with an emotional stimulus.
In her work you can recognize the typical dynamism of the futurist current.
Movement and rhythm are intertwined with drawings and video animations
that redraw the structure borders.
She participated to various events as guest artist. Among others, we can mention
the “Settimana della Fotografia Europea” (Reggio Emilia - Italy) where she edited the
video projections with Allen Tannenbaum photos and music by Benny Benassi, the
same event has seen the installation cure of the Twin-Set store with projection developed on a mannequin. “LaptopsRus” (Caceres-Berlin-Madrid-Taiwan), live event

Festival with a Live Visual Mapping for Town Hall Square with DJ sets by Boosta,
permanent installation at the puppet museum of Othello Sarzi. Vj resident for the club
Tunnel of Reggio Emilia. She has also worked as a VJ in other places as Tenax
(Florence), BBKing (Ravenna), Cassero (Bologna), Brancaleone (Rome).
Every surface, human or material, or hybrid, is a potential surprise, that declines in
the new meaning of emotion.
