As conceptual thought imagery to accompany a performance by BXDC, this video follows characters of a movement performance through fragmentary monologue outlining broad relationships and reflections of social happenings. The performance was performed in New York at Soho 20 last December, i do not have footage formt he actual performance yet.
Sigrid and I named our dance/ performance collaboration.
Move.
The imminent future of my past and present conceptual mind explosions, explosive as they come about quickly and impulsively then evolve into greater context and meaning. When I am done, the writing of these ultimate metaphors, for what is really happening, i may use them to my advantage, but for now Know One will ever read them although i feel i have something to say. Part clarification and part creation.
Movement is the vehicle of my execution. Dance is what makes movement with the body. Rythym corresponds sometimes. cocophany can expel and create metaphor that is felt. Feeling is hwat suspends the average walk average talk. There are ultimately no rules other than the ones you make for the representation of your self. Although you could be representing something other than your self; a concept or an idea or an object in a subject or a perspective. Dance as a vehicle allows for a relative experience with the audience watching. It creates a relationship with the body as we experience it. Everything that happens in our lives is experienced through our physical vessels. Temporal relationships coincide and create the filter for what we experience but ultimately we recieve through the senses, allowed to suspend from the body.
levitation: suspension of your self, your ideas, your body, your fears. to lift from what makes you and then to discover new possibilities or to discover anything at always.
there is nothing to worry about.
DISCOVERY
keep playing with possiblilties play ganes with what already exists make it more make it less, make it bigger, smaller softer harder.
This is certainly digital performance art, so many properties.

Waacking is an art, a dance, with origins in gay black disco dancers of the 70’s. It has since then moved into the categorical dance vocab, being used by many. The quick flip of arms use of elbows and intuitive movement that goes into the blurry merge of song and movement feels like a freedom you cant experience anywhere else. The momentum carries the arms and the torso follows as the bent legs step to catwalk strut.
here are some costumes from a acrobatic dance company called Momix.
Costumes are essential in performance art because art embodies culture or/and aesthetic manipulation, so we are all wearing costumes anyway everyday. Thus, some people have played with the costume as a restriction to the body in order to dictate what the body is capable of doing under this circumstance. One iconic example of this is the Triadic ballet by Oskar Schlemmer. These costumes are incredible and big, when you watch the video you can see that they are limited in their movement while trying to subscribe to the tradition of ballet, this makes for a more interesting body dynamic as well as an interesting critique on the social structures surrounding ballet.
These are photographs taken by Daniel Tepper. This performance was created out of the conversations that would arise out a bunch of women talking to eachother. Women artists have a big claim in performance art. The institution of art does not hold many outlets for performance artists, if it is starting to, which it is, im not sure what it means yet. However, politics are personal and im personally informed by performance of the everyday, so live.
ALWAYS WILL OTHER PEOPLES HAPPINESS.
it will make sense.
Nothing
They decided to take a little piece of nothing and draw a circle around it, making it something.
