"Voici"
Spectacle for 4 dancers and 3 sculptures

Here is (Voici). See this. Only there. See. Simple presentation, without pretension or drama, of what is.
Here is (Voici). The eyes do not hang on a line, on a framework to follow, which could lead us from here to there, or from there to elsewhere. Here is (Voici) and yet movement turned, and opened toward Invitation, from the eyes to the eyes, from the present to the past, given, offered.
Here is (Voici). For you.

The Tuning Effect is a group of highly skilled improvisers: two dancers, and a musician.  Together they weave their different art forms into a dynamic evening of performance. This group focuses on the music, developing an emotional landscape, around which they take their unique spontaneous journeys.  This is done through the versatile playing of musician Coat Cooke.  The group is completed by long time collaborators Chris Aiken and Peter Bingham. Aiken, winner of numerous awards including the Guggenheim, teaches at Urinas College in Pennsylvania and Bingham, well known in the world of improvisation is the Artistic Director of EDAM Dance in Vancouver. They have performed in The Tuning Effect numerous times over the years. They have been dancing together since 1991 at The New York Improv Festival, the Vancouver International Dance Festival, and at many Colleges and Universities in the United States.

"Bread and Onions"
One piece for two

So many capes and no heart

This work is inspired in the aphorism "with you, bread and onion", that it is equivalent to the expression in German "von Luft and Liebe leben" or French "vivre d'amour et d- eau fraîche"
The passional connotation and the immaterial essence of this equation were the point and departure of this scenic collaboration.
The love has a strange presence. It exists in enigmatic forms and in narrow relation with another concrete realities, practices and materials. What do we have to take in the name of love and of survival? 
The dichotomy between vacuum and hunger, the language dilemmas, of the body and of desire they are some themes discussed in this work. To consume the other one to express love is an act that confronts concepts like sacrifice, aggression, love or destruction like ways of human relation.

Project created in Sweet and Tender Collaborations/Skite Sweet's with the support of PAF (Performing Arts Forum), in France and Foreign Affairs State Department in Mexico.

Experimental dance

Self-portrait: Four studies about human figure
Four passages: hands Study, feet study, face study and human figure study, where the dancer and choreographer Alfonsina Riosantos, discusses the need of equilibrium, by the roots. She takes the emblematic figure of the tree as a symbol of what's beautiful. The metaphor gestates between the root tree crossings long galleries of shades while the tree is straighten up in light. Light and darkness establish their eternal dialogue, their own dance.

Water
We do not bathe twice at the same river because in his depth, the human being has the destination of the water that moves (Gaston Bachelard)
Part of the imaginary event experiences in life with water its different statuses- sounds of the sea and the experience of an attentive body to his respiration.
A containing body, a body that is exposed to the abundance, a body that runs out.
With a selection of raga music, marimba and a vals, the rhythms that arouse memories of changing water.

Physical theater, theater of objects and dance-theater

Szmuski retakes the theologian and mystic's words abad, Hugo Saint Victor to tell us about the journey in this work: " the man that loves his fatherland is still a tender beginner; is strong  the one who  loves each land as much as his land of birth; but is perfect the one who sees the entire world  like a strange country ". The work tells us the story of a man called Hernan Cortes who has a journey toward a specific place, than according to Szmuski, "it can be any place". He is not interested in doing direct reference toward the historic character Hernan Cortes; that's why he takes away the last name accent. He is not interested in talking about the conquest of America, on the contrary, he does a words play where he rescues the theme of the journey."It is necessary to pack everything, rather than packing myself" the director says, through this set-up, shows instructions to the audience of how not to become anguished in this journey called life.
