BECOMING BODY

A movement practice developed and shared in a form of workshops and peer to peer exchange. It aims at tuning into what we call, following Erin Manning, a state of “becoming body” – a responsive quality, that transcends bound and homogenic idea of identity.




It mixes a somatic approach, dance scores and philosophy. We work with movement & spoken language, verbalization of sensations, tracing attention, tuning into different time-spaces embedded within our bodies, playing with scales and volumes. We focus on bodily fluidity and approach the body as a fluid archive. Based on that we intend to explore notions of ‘heritage’ as an embodied knowledge created always in a relation to other bodies, in continuous movement and transformation. In this investigation we specifically focus on language as a matter – understood as a collective set of rules and as a mean capable of activating and integrating different perspectives. Its aim is to practice alternative understanding of what constitutes and surrounds us, distorting modern, colonial epistemic tradition.

“vibration - freedom - release - connection
alternative body - alternative anatomy - powerful question:
where is up?“

“relationship with the time becomes flexible and multiple - a sense of time is actually flowing from one pace to the other - it is not linear anymore - a rigidness of reality is melting - mutating - it is all in the passing, not the beginning, not the end”

RELATION #3

“what the coral said.
once. we were all singing. somewhere. we are still. moving. as something huge, vibrational, wet. we dance and keep the world in place. we shiver and know the orbit. if you let the body undulate you will remember. not all the waves are in the ocean. we don't know so much about soloists. we don't know so much about virtue. we don't care so much about your body. it's the body. you are already part of it because you has nothing to do with it. dance into harmony now. now is already now. time has nothing to do with it. time is up. time is over. we are love in all directions. come on, sing.”
