Dr. Cell (they/them) Our name is Cell. We are the smallest unit that can live on their own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body. We are present in the complicated xenorhizomatic web of non-linear time-space constellations. We are here and yet gone somewhere else. We arrive and dissolve and re-appear in circular motion of feedback loop raising the question if we were even really gone. We play with visibility, sensibility, “attentionality”. We are other and always multiple. The ones always fluid. The ones always in motion. The ones worlding. The question about how we can deal with all these divergent stimuli occurs. There is this possibility to outsource them to various times while making connections between them. The intersections within linearities of our contemporaneity are present - they are many and happen at the same time in different tenses.
So we navigate ourselves by chance (a dice), we have the ability to embody different beings, become them, understand them, move with their bodies, mimic their curiosities, expressions, hear their thoughts. Learn with them and after a while leave them be.
Celestína Minichová (she/they) I am an artist in (re)search, nonviolence activist and thinker with the environment from Slovakia based in The Netherlands. My practice finds its roots in the visual arts, specifically intermedia arts. At the moment my curiosity focuses on performativity, site-specificity and various positions of the poetics of language and thinking in relation to them who surrounds us.
A visual representation of music/experience/idea/performing material/movement that uses images, symbols, colors, and words instead of or in addition to traditional musical notation.
These emerged and can continue to emerge in individual or collective "tuning in sessions". They have double use - they serve as a way of documentation as well as inspiration for further creation. I would like to use them later on as an inspiration for sound and movement expressions within my scenogrpahic practice.
That Which Waters The Curiosity is an idea based processual “rooting” workshop. This means that the more times the workshop takes place in various forms, the more informed it becomes. It offers options for re-articulation(s) while creating a web of relations in various parts of the world.
They consists of various exercises as: being still, meditation, deep listening, automatic writing, collective worlding, embodiment of certain "glocal" and others.
The workshop has already taken place in Enschede, Zagreb and Bratislava in collaboration with Puck Verras, Klára Kusá and Viktória Arvayová.
