Before and After the Dance Private Sessions with Strangers
is a space for pure experience which is intended to become a constructive reality shared by visitor and observer.
It is an intimate, private space that establishes a direct bond between the individual dancing as an act of resistance, resistance to time and weariness, and the observer looking through a camera lens.
Before and After the Dance offers a horizontal experience, where the guest actively creates an experience shared over time, through dance, photography and video recording.
The visitor takes a self portrait before and after the dance session (60 minutes). The sessions will be recorded on video and at the end there will be a short interview as a record of the experience.
The end result of the project is not exactly what we might describe as a “product”, but rather the challenge of setting up a process that involves creating other spaces. In this way, we open up new opportunities for public participation in experimental, out of the ordinary formats, valueing the experience as an end in itself.
Dance is another way of entering into processes of physical commitment, in which resistence is the key to achieving a physical state where the body allows itself to be transformed.
Before and After the Dance Private Sessions with Strangers is also a collection of many identities that write, talk and communicate through the body and movement.
This project is the continuation of a process begun in 2013, focussing on the body as a tool for transformation and change and using photography and video.
