Research
As a dancer I am
interested in working from the an inside-out-perspective, letting the matter of the
work appear in the making of the material.
This notion comes from a ‘craft-based’ point of view, inspired by anthropologist Tim Ingold’s ideas of working from a tactile, sensed or lived experience where the body is engaged with the material. I like to see where the flow of the material I am in – no matter if it comes from score work, an intuitive idea, an impulse, a piece of music, a set dogma – forms the work along the way, which eventually will turn into something more tangible.
The two links below are snippets of work I have done in the studio, following a certain flow or state of mind:
