Britta Lieberknecht transforms movement energy into drawing. With both hands she transfers her spontaneous motion through the pens to the paper. The contact of the pens with the paper, the sounds and the resistance of the pens feed back directly into her movement and imagination. A game how movement could translate into drawing and an answer to the contact. Britta has in mind not only the spontaneous movement choreography of the but also the drawing itself. It is a two layered composition, every moment has two layers. The audience can be surprised what lines result from the movements and how the dance develops. She moves her whole body, lets it effect the arms and hands. Gross motor skills of drawing. She detaches sometimes from the paper, also draws from behind her back, or with the head down, not always seeeing the drawing but sensing it. This creates three- dimensionality. Some situations cause humerous moments, or expose quality, rhythm and flow, strength and ease.

At the end a drawing remains.
