‘Intuition of Form’ is an exploration of the path along which an idea takes shape, and form reflects a mood. The viewer has the opportunity to observe how line and colour transform into movement, and how movement, absorbing the rhythm of the surrounding space, becomes a dance.
The concept of the work draws on Aristotle’s notion of entelechy: the movement from potential to actuality; the embodiment of an idea through the realisation of its purpose; and the multiplicity of images that may arise from a single seed.

Curiosity about life in all its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.
ZERO Dance Gallery
has been exploring this multidimensional world since 2002
Originally established as the ‘Theatre ZERO ’ contemporary dance laboratory, the project has expanded its activities to bring together various art forms – contemporary dance, visual art and music.
“By synthesising Eastern and Western ways of thinking, I strive to combine powerful expression with inner stillness in my work. Whilst developing in various directions, I retain my starting point as a place of tranquillity, to which I can always return in order to move forward… perhaps in a different direction.”
The creative concept is based on the fundamental elements underlying dance – energy, space, time and flow. My artistic interests lie at the intersection of the principles of choreography and the visual arts." Konstantin Grouss, artist, dancer and choreographer, the founder and artistic director of the “ZERO Dance Gallery” project.
