TEMPO
DI
BOREA
Tempo di Borea is the meeting of two movement artists who felt in love with hight, suspension, and modified gravity.
Ella Cocset and Rebekka Gather are convinced by the power of art to modify our ways of thinking and being by opening new spaces for our feelings and imaginations. Their work focuses on body and architecture, site specific performances and sensitive listening of places.
They are following the Vertical Dance philosophy that the verticaldanceforum has developed during the last decade. Since 2019 Rebekka and Ella have been training together at several Masterclass and vertical dance trainings in Europe and founded their duet in 2021.
