During the Stary Browar na Malcie Festival I had a chance to share my newest work “momentum* when matter meets anti-matter”. It was an amazing two days of meeting with people, sharing thoughts and dance, spending time with the environment and dancing with the rain.
“Momentum* when matter meets antimatter” is a work that invites audience to share the experience of the physical language that not only human bodies, but also all the beings and all the life on earth share, which is movement. It wishes to invite everyone to focus on, allow yourself to take part in, enjoy the dance that is happening all around.
The idea for making this work started emerging during my residency at LABverde2017 in Amazon, Brazil, when the power of the life all around me at first paralyzed my dance expertise and later led me to the journey to rediscoveries of movement, of physicality, of dance. Looking at my body as a prolongation of the environment that I am surrounded with and vise versa, treatening the landscape as part of the same physicality.
Thanks to an amazing opportunity to work and create during the artistic residency at Studio Burdag, offered me time and space and let me to go for the journey into unknown, to experiment and allowed for the unknown to emerge.
The need for this work and for what it feels like a artistic direction reveling in front of me, comes from the wish for more ecologically aware life and decisions in choices making, for finding ways to create, care and celebrate our community/ the global community, for using economics where common wealth is the priority, for politics that support the life of all that are living. Being in the middle of all of what is happening in our reality at the moment I wish for art to be a remedy and source of strength for love as a life energy.
Thank you everyone that came to share the time and space with me during the “momentum*when the matter meets anti-matter”.
