This is a first the edit for a solo-work, performed by myself sometime next year (2020).
For the human beings, since we know our own history we were drawn to challenge ourselves trough conquering and to getting know. Land, knowledge, each other.
It isn’t so di?erent in the nature of artists and for dance makers especially. Choreographers, dancers, teachers, researchers since the Judson Church movement are viciously ‘fighting’ the ‘old’ and inventing, taking on the ‘new’.
Dance as a performing art form has evolved and still shaping itself in a high speed by freeing itself from rules, melting and fusing with other media and discovering new territories.
While walking on this highway of impressions, I asked myself - why not to park a little on road and take a time to look back instead of rushing forward? -.
As an artist you are drawn to express yourself with something you (or others) haven’t done, or a matter that you just discovered. I tend to forget all those inspirations, strong moments, concepts and ideas which I encountered during this journey of dance making.
Reading the title might suggest a state of mind or body where one is (trying) hide from something or someone in an unknown dark space. However, Self-escape is pretty much the opposite. It is a deep dive into ones daily personal log. It is a log of about ten years of artistic work in a form performing and dancing for companies, co-creating and choreographing shows, leading researches with creative media design students, collaborating with visual artists and musicians ...
What does my past has to reflect about me and how it is viewed di?erently by the spectator here and now?
What is that collection of thoughts which could be interconnected despite their distance in time, space and context?
Self-escape is peeping-room experience into the mind of performer reflecting on his past and troughs a playground of ideas.
