For the occasion of performing our work during an ARC (art_research_convergence) session of the Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) at the Peel Slowly and See Festival in Leiden on 25.8.2021, we integrated DUE with SEI.
Based on the experiential dramaturgy of performing SEI as a vehicle to activate a polyphonic body before diving deeper into the unknown domain of the subtle body, we decided to insert DUE into SEI by cutting the “Ciaccona” in two parts.
During the second part of SEI, the hypothetical layer of the subtle body is then added as a voice to the polyphonic body.
00:00 – 1:31
I am playing with meeting the sounds of the violin directly in a one-on-one relation.
In engage the dancing body in relation to the spaces between the sounds and with the different layers of the violin as manipulated by Bracci.
1:31
The dance breaks through a barrier inside my body.
I access a deeper layer of movement origination in search for another kind of body.
0:29 – 1:05
To enter the state and dimension of DUE, I stretch the time of being suspended between gravity and levity
1:05 – 6:06
I engage in a speculative dialogue with the hypothetical subtle body as creative source, with movement origination from underneath or beyond corporeal sensations.
I move with a subtle energetic materiality of the sounds.
I respond to it from the (hypothetical) somatic unconscious
