MIND-BLOWING STAGE SCULPTURES// MY BODY AS A STAGE SCULPTURE

 https://www.ted.com/talks/es_devlin_mind_blowing_stage_sculptures_that_fuse_music_and_technology

 After amazing  Es Devlin's talk about mind-blowing stage sculptors, I really took some time to think about what we ALL kind of artists are doing for the better world. Es reminds us of great work beginning with ideas. As she said the beginning is really important, it is delicate part, it feels every atom of air, before the show (everything) starts. I am delighted how she is explaining her call and what is really being sculpted is the EXPERIENCE of the audience, and after the show that thing is only important. When everything is gone, when show is finished and everybody goes to their home, the show, work of the artists endures in their memories, in sculptures, in performances, pieces.. We are alive as artists because of that...in the mind of those who were once present in the audience. The audience anticipation is matter!! and that is the beauty of every artist's work, I should say mine too. Transferring oneself from the stage out to the audience and hearing somewhere in the angle collective voice of the beautiful mass remind me on the experience I used to live, and that is how all we are connected, how we can communicate on this stage with collective voice and what is equally fascinating as stage is AUDIENCE. I dedicated my 4 AOL to that subject and vulnerability of performer on the stage and what is the actual meaning of being on the stage, what kind of responsibilities the artist have for the audience and audience to the artists. 


ONly connecT!.... and live in fragments no longer.

    Sandra, this is a beautiful reflection. Yes, we are vulnerable as artists, performers, makers and the beauty and fragility of that vulnerability allows communication between audience and artist - the art is an invitation perhaps for wider and deeper conversations to happen?

    Thank you for always encouraging words...yes, the ART is a platform for changing the world, it could be... but this I think in majority always sounds like something trivial and banal. If we change word instead of making WAR (read backwards)into something RAW and start from scratches, maybe something positive would happen even in those places who does not know how to look and design differently the first above mentioned word. Yes, i believe in art and art is a place for definitely deeper conversation and act, but like I said...there are some people in this world who use art in different purposes and unfortunately we can not do much, but we can not stop trying doing our best:)

How will what we are doing affect or maybe influence on people who are not us? (i mean here on dance, movement teachers, artists, performers), how they will feel, or what they know in the course of what happens and how we can carry out the people involved , the spaces, the time in order to make sense of experience, ideas...and how to entwine an element of quality there? how we create the truth, the real experience? All about ethics is make sure people do not get hurt, insult (this brings me to Plato(w...

MODULE 3//Sept 27 2021 -WHAT AM I DOING?

WHAT AM I REALLY DOING? Tonight's we had a very useful Module 3 discussion about what we are doing in our research, how we are framing, finding clarity, scratching the surface, focus on relevant, how we specify what we are doing....so after the discussion and really thankful after some clear questions, i would like to say about my project... Still my research title will not be my setting stone and I will be flexible and open as much as I can..  As part of my 2 month physically active researching period on a project Embodied flow in motion I am interested in exploring embodied flow in motion in 7 phases (slow flow, free flow, bound flow, open-spiral fluidity, fluid touch, floating sound, imagery flow, flow re-patterning) through embodied movement practices. In the context of this research, for me embodiment through fluidity has many stages and possibility to achieve fluid movement requires knowledge and experience of moving the body according to feelings, present state of min...
