Spirited

​

My spirit desired a body, so it chose me.

It wants to go fast, fly off cliffs, teleport through rock, explode into flames, shapeshift...
​
Me too, but I get afraid to crash, fall, disappear, burn, deform...

 

4-5 December 2019
SODA Works Festival
HZT - Uferstudios, Studio 14
Final research presentation: Masters in Solo/ Dance/ Authorship, Inter-University Centre for Dance (HZT) Berlin

 

 A dance solo conjuring different worlds of ecstatic states. The performer aims to inhabit the in-between space—a process of shapeshifting and emergence where different bodies and energies are channeled through and hosted by the dancer. Feelings, physical desires and impulses become fluid and freely shared with the audience—an intimate journey through transformations.
