BECOMING PLANT:
DANCE SESSIONS
It is an invitation for a joint investigation of “becoming-plant” as “a labor of
unlearning certain somatic and mental habits” within a cycle of dance sessions.
“The idea of becoming-plant is
an idea within us, composing us because becoming-plant happens.”
“Becoming is the name for this
provisional co-creative zone in which the ‘parties’ and their ‘proper
functions’ are themselves effaced and augmented.”
Within the sessions, we practice the perception of our tangible selves as co-extensive
with the environment and explore such qualities as complete exposure,
connectivity, acceptance of all nuances. Each cycle is a place of mixing somatic techniques with plant
philosophy, recipes for producing bio-plastic with movement scores, political
contexts with fantasizing, feminist practice with biology textbooks and so on.
Within a cycle, there are 8 sessions (ca. 2,5h each) oriented around different issues:
snacking on light // extraterrestrial space and the earth // exchanging resources and nutrients // temporalities // space & scale // one that does not distinguish between objects & substances // a safety issue // radical openness
