Moving Mechatronics
This presentation deals with the corporeality of dancing bodies in four choreographic works that are part of my artistic research project. I am interested in how different technologies, ontological perspectives and approaches to bodily movement can be used as choreographic tools to shape and shift the physicality of human and non-human bodies – actual and imagined – in a series of choreographic works. In my research I use the choreographic process and the works as a laboratory to elaborate on concepts and questions. In my artistic work I am interested in the physical feeling of movement – the poetry of human mechanics.
