“Choreographic Atlases” is a research on how various movements on Earth coexist and influence each other. We want to emphasize the connections between what is usually considered separate, to re-establish the relationship between our bodies and the bodies of nature. We follow the migration of birds, roots of trees, and mycelium nets, searching for different ways of moving in and with the environment in times of climate crisis.

The project is a poetic physical installation and a place of being, thinking, and caring together. We work in dialogue with scientists, engaging curiosity and care for all inhabitants of Earth and creating maps less charged with the white supremacist heteropatriarchal order of the world.

We aim for interspecies maps, queer maps, and maps of multiplicity, that are perceived through bodies. By performing these cartographies through choreographic scores, we propose visual and corporeal ways of thinking about ecosystem interdependencies.

THE NATURE OF US PROGRAM

Research Sessions and Conferences For Central European Performance Projects about the Natural World

Residency period: Budapest 24.01 - 06.02.2022 with Katinka Wissing and Bárbara Cordeiro in dialogue with Ewa Kierklo


The aim of our artistic research is to work on a choreographic atlas, collecting mutually interacting movements on the Earth. Conceived as a visual form of knowledge, it will act as a tool to design ecological discussions in dance practice and as a reference base for new explorations.

In order to build a cartography of the dynamic processes driving migration, we would like to study the movements of non-human actors/actants. By exploring migration of birds, pollen transfer, sea tides and tectonic change, among others, we want to witness the constant movement of matter in the environment we co-create. We will construct maps, sample tasks, choreographic/visual scores and record our explorations in and out of the studio to build an open creative environment.

As climate change accelerates, both rising water levels and migration of humans and other species, is there a way we can find common navigation in this? Putting all of this into shared dimensions will help us see a possible landscape of ecosystem interdependencies.

Since April 2018, I am in constant transition, without a place to come back to, without a specific base. It has to do with continuous planning of routes, stops and sketching the landscape of tomorrow. Numerous questions about the past or upcoming trips, diminish the “now” to a thin line between past and future. It results in experiencing the events, taking place in the present, in a way of immediately relating to them in past terms. “Now” is occupied by planning as well as with reporting. Constantly changing the place of being, demand readapting to new landscapes around. Finding your ways in a new city, looking for transportation possibilities to arrive to a specific spot, encountering new people. All of this keeps one’s attention on the outside. It by far moves the perception to the peripheries and eventually also shifts the point of self-reference to a space outside own’s body.
