"Between control and uncertainty" is a practice-led research that combines the kinetic study of the body as a structure and the implementation of media and expanded choreography tools to de-pattern the conventional relationship between body and space in performative environments.
Moreover, on a meta-level, the investigation reflects on the tension between control and uncertainty in the act of research itself.
With the firm belief that the body has inherent philosophical and epistemological knowledge which can be activated by experiencing and observing movement, I embraced the challenge to name and contextualize that knowledge.
This inquiry started from my fascination for the kinetics of the body and its ability to reorganize itself in comparison with other micro and macro structures that do not move that way, such a, for example, the microstructures of materials like metal, rocks or the macrostructures built by the geography of the city and the Port of Rotterdam.
The interdisciplinary research addresses the dichotomy structure-destructure and its application and affections to the body. In this sense, the research proposes a tool for de-patterning the habitual relationship between the body of the performer and the external space and offers to the audience a door for de-patterning their relationship with performative spaces.
The research has been framed under the inspirational umbrella of the idea of performing the Deleuzian concept of “becoming”, (deriving from the Latin verb “devenire” which means “coming down, falling in, arriving to”).
The physical inquiry is focused on the action of “falling in”, "devenire". The exploration led to an articulated and defined set of physical and interdisciplinary exercises that are the core of the dance practice ‘falling in’.
In concordance with the practice, the findings of this research can be seen as ways of controlling and ways of facilitating, allowing, provoking uncertainty within the choreographic practice-led research frame.
This research artistically materialized in the performance Falling in. Notes on body space and matter premiered in 2019.

Wolfe and Libertad is a practice-led research project that combines choreographic and cinematographic ways of working with the aim to locate sources of female strength. Therefore, one strand of the project seeks to develop an expressive device from the kinetic interplay between dance and video projection. The other finds creative energy in the voice of young women instigating social change and in a wolves-inspired bodily state. One major inspiration is the tale La Loba (Wolf Woman) presented by Clarissa Pinkola in the book Women Who Run With the Wolves (1992). The psychoanalytic concepts of Extimacy (Lacan, 2014) and Listening with The Third Ear (Reik, 1956) are repurposed as creative methods that generate movement materials from somatic experiences. As well, those concepts became the analytical way to understand the research discoveries. As part of this project, the video-dance Becoming and the dance pieces WolFloW and Wolfe & Libertad, which involve real-time visual performance, were made. In addition, a vocabulary of interaction between live and mediated dance is presented in this Exposition. One key finding of the project is a potent state of presence nurtured with the use of spoken word and sign language. A variety of tensions emerges from the interaction between this presence and the presence of the projection.

Public Positions - looking into the works of MA PPS artists and their Public Spaces.
With this new collective online publication, MA PPS curates past and current alumni artistic research processes and practices that encapsulate references and positions of public space discourse. The publication serves as documentation of artists who developed (part of) their research together with the programme, and that shares their valuable contribution to the field of Performing Public Space.
