#ablebodiesandstones

With Emma Goldman I ask: How can I be part of your revolution, when I am too sick to dance? How can I change the world, when I cannot be present?
At the moment this "I" is hypothetic, a healthy feeling "I". But this "I" - as an agent of the art of risk, an agent of circus - is always creating with the knowledge that the situation might change any time.
So, I am interested in bodies, situated between discipline and alternative ability, between circus body and injured body, between adrenalin high and pain: I am looking for the discrepancy between the disciplined, functioning body of the aerial artist - over-achieving norms of health and fitness - and the reality that there is no such thing as a "healthy" body.

Following the "Sick Woman Theory" by Johanna Hedva, who had her audience put stones in their shoes, I regard stones, pebbles and boulders as our main objects and props. We will play with them, animate them, manipulate them: in relation to our bodies, searching for contradictions and paradoxa, reversing the laws of nature and gravity. We continue until our awareness blurs, until the borders between our bodies and the stones disappear.
