V originále

If we speak about a body in 2019, we are oscillating somewhere between mortality, neglecting Anthropocene, reconnecting with nature as a matter of surviving or keeping on reconnecting with other human beings due to body politics concepts. We keep on exploring borders of human touch, common breath, or gender - through expanding tolerance, community thinking or behind the door - in solitude. As an artist working primarily with my body, I recognise its boundaries and the limited capacity of sharing. Even dance as a form is too restricted, too much vocabulary needed. But how can we come back to our body and include mind, politics, environment, and community? I suggest commonly knowing the unknown or vice versa. Open ourselves to vulnerability, sensitivity, insecurity, and unknown. We probably feel, smell, or taste something hard to name. Do we need to name it? During my lecture performance (based on my solo performance about embodying dance in 2017) I am proposing in between perception through unknown. Sharing first via verbal explanation, continuing with a nonverbal journey through unknown movement. Unknown as something hard to name through our language. Unknown as an experiment. Unknown as something we knew but which might have been forgotten. Unknown as a new context, as stepping out from our habits and culture. Unknown as a negotiation with duality, unknown as fluidity. Based on my research about new/interdisciplinary approaches to dance, I am exploring and experimenting with sharing knowledge which we are not sure about, but cannot deny its existence.
