dance research
working on the edge of theory and practice, my main focus lies among the performative dynamics between these two. to keep this resonant relationship happening, my working intentions are usually meant to pose questions, to construct challenging contexts, to incite the ‘what follows’, and hope that hints some new creative potentials or new habits of thought. my interdisciplinary interests in artistic formats range from performance, mixed-media, street art to applied drama/theatre with dance/movement embracing it all.
shaping meaning is always an interactive process, so is dramaturgy. interactivity in dance happens both on inter-personal and intra-personal level. practice-based reflective facilitation where new conditions and new contexts for creation can be generated fascinates me. i picture and understand physical movement as dwelling upon the actively acquired new knowledge which is then able to redefine itself along the creative processes within which it comes to last, for that precious while.
the abstract or the intellectual is nowhere far from the ‘applied’. on the contrary, i see them beautifully interdependent. :) for that reason, conceptualization; contextualization; composition; and reflectivity (which some call criticism) construct one continuous practice to me. this includes all the cognate prepositional variations of the mentioned nouns, which happen to construct yet another (and perhaps a little post modernistic in style) neologism which was once called: inunderē.
anyway, to me, the time/space of the ‘in-between’ of thought and movement is an inspiring, both magical and very real environment.
