“The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause."
Henri Bergson

A collaborative work conceived by Alice Tatge, 3:00 is a 30 minute site-responsive piece that combines dance, music and video installation. The work investigates the interaction of these three art forms and the points at which they come together into coherent coincidence or else rupture and fragment. The piece engages with different temporalities - loops and traces, past, present and future, forward and in reverse - ultimately building towards a cohesive overarching narrative: a voyage through a series of thought associations, visual imprints, sound and movement traces in an all-immersive environment.

Choreographed by Alice Tatge, video installation by Alessandro Librio, live music by Alessandro Librio, Angelo di Mino.

Alice Tatge (1981, Italy) is a dancer and choreographer. At the age of six, she began training in ballet and the Graham technique. She trained in the US, Hampshire College and in New York.

As a choreographer, her practice juxtaposes pure dance and the emotional and physical content that it evokes with other forms of art.
Between 2007 and 2009, Tatge curated the live art element of Ear Cinema, a multi-faceted installation directed by Wajid Yaseen and presented at the ICA Theatre and touring the UK including at the Arnolfini in Bristol and Salisbury arts center.
