A movement within the cursed space of the membership idea

Performance

After a long experimental period of observations and actions, not as much pointed purposefully in consciously desired directions as it is toward the atmosphere of sauntering strolls around – and within an environment of predefining architectural and lingual structures of membership-ideas, I slowly discovered and have to admit: I am a no-body. A no-member. As such, it feels like being no where. From here I will tell.

Thick fog creeps out of my eyes, ears, mouth and nostrils. It wears the shape of fear. By pushing out of me it persuades me to desire without direction.

Membros Cia de Danca: "Raio X", "Meio fio"

Bruno Beltrão, sagt Taís Vieira, sei ihr großes Vorbild. Die 30-Jährige kommt aus der brasilianischen Küstenstadt Macaé. Als Kind bekam sie Ballettunterricht. Aber als die Familie wirtschaftlich abstürzte, war es damit vorbei. Vieira wollte weiter tanzen, sie entdeckte Capoeira, HipHop, eine andere Welt.

Do the roll

Steve, in “Material for the Spine,” what lies behind the word “material?” It’s movement material, to bring the spine to awareness. When I started this in 1986 it seemed to me that people could have perfectly useable and eloquent spines without ever having any sense of the spine itself which is not easily sensed.
