Dancer, teacher and choreographer, Emese Cuhorka graduated from the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy. She has worked with Adrienn Hód since 2007 and has been a member of Hodworks since 2009. Together with Csaba Molnár, she develops artistic recontextualisations of subcultures. She is interested in experimenting with forms and performance formats. As a performer and co-creator, she has participated in six works which have received the Rudolf Lábán Award. The piece Sea Lavender was awarded the Special Prize by the Hungarian Theatre Critics. The documentary about the rehearsals of this piece, titled The Euphoria of Being, won the Main Prize at the Locarno Film Festival and the Human Rights Prize at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
A VR piece in four parts based on the performance Masterwork for Six Dancers creates an engaging viewing experience—the viewer enters a world where body, objects, and space merge, transform, and resonate within a multilayered choreography, while simultaneously becoming part of the game themselves. Through a combination of bodily movement and “objectification,” and precisely through virtual reality, the work opens a space of paradoxical freedom in which dance is not merely observed, but experienced, felt, and actively co-created.
