SUMMARY:Charlie – Adrienn Hód / HODWORKS
DESCRIPTION:Hungary\n\nAfter the performance, there will be an open discussion with the artists and the audience, with interpretation in Greek Sign Language (GSL) and, if needed, in International Sign or British Sign Language (BSL).\n\n\nCharlie is a solo performance emerging from collective experimentation and in-depth research, following the trajectory of Adrienn Hód’s previous works, Idol and Harmonia. At its center is wheelchair-using dancer Károly Tóth, whose unique presence shapes the work.\nHód’s intention is simple yet profound: to highlight Károly’s personality on stage. His non-normative body offers a groundbreaking perspective on patience, openness, and lived experience. The performance is intimate, free of taboos, and invites audiences into his everyday world.\nCharlie challenges the conventions of contemporary dance, foregrounding inclusion while questioning normative expectations, social norms, and the role of art. It aims to raise awareness of inclusive performing arts and foster a more open, diverse cultural environment. Physically, the piece navigates the boundary between function and expression, exploring how limitations can be transformed into movement. It balances reality and artificiality, action and sensation, creating a rich, unpredictable physicality. Movement is driven by purpose, attention, and imagination, cultivating a sustained presence on stage.\nThrough its innovative approach, Charlie invites audiences to reflect on the body, perception, and presence, redefining what dance can be while celebrating diversity, inclusion, and human expression.\nCredits\nPerformer: Károly Tóth\nChoreographer: Adrienn Hód\nSociologist, consultant: Judit Surányi\nMusic: Rozália Mákó\nLight: Kata Dézsi\nSupported by: OFF Alapítvány, Eötvös10, NKA\nCo-producer: DansiT Choreographic Center\nSpecial thanks to: Ádám Czirák, Ágnes Gyulavári, Ármin Szabó-Székely, Csaba Molnár, Eszter Gál, Imola Kacsó, Imre Vass, Katalin Erdődi, Marcio Kerber Canabarro, Márton Gláser, Natália Nagy, Szilvia Artner, Veronika Szabó, Viktor Szeri\nPhotos: Dániel Dömölky, Kincső Bede, Máté Kalicz\nVideo: Gergely Ofner, Tamás Szabó Sipos\nDuration: 70 min.\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/1057464646\n\n\n\n\n			\n	{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@id":"#arve-vimeo-1057464646","@type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1057464646?dnt=1&app_id=122963&transparent=0&title=1&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1"}\n\n \nThe piece has been presented:\nFebruary 2025, Eötvös10, Budapest\nMay 2025, Eötvös10, Budapest\nAugust 2025, Tanečno Festival, Námestovo\nJanuary 2026, EN-KNAP, Ljubljana\nApril 2026, Multiplié Dance Festival / DansiT, Trondheim\nAdrienn Hód\nAdrienn Hód is an internationally recognized choreographer whose work spans contemporary dance, experimental movement, and applied choreography for theatre, film, and commercial projects. Since founding HODWORKS in 2007, she has served as the company’s artistic and production director, while also collaborating widely with Hungarian and international artists. She regularly teaches workshops, focusing on improvisational tools often connected to HODWORKS’ creative processes.\nHód’s artistic approach centers on the human body in motion, stripped of cultural expectations, taboos, and fixed meanings. In the studio, she fosters sensitive, trust-based environments where dancers, musicians, and collaborators contribute their personal experiences and creative responses. Her pieces sit at the crossroads of dance, theatre, and performance: although rooted in extensive improvisation, they are ultimately presented in rigorously structured forms.\nHer work challenges clichés, expands stage-audience relations, and foregrounds raw physicality — often through minimal or naked bodies — supported by precise sound and light design. Hód continually pushes the boundaries of contemporary dance, exploring radical personal expression and multilayered identities.\nhttps://hodworks.hu/hod-adrienn/\n
