Abstract [en]
mountain meditations for responsible imagination, is an expanded choreographic research that uses materiality as creative agent. During my two years of study I developed different fabric sculptures, big scale text, and body and dance based material, exploring systems of entanglement, interdependence, responsibility, imagination and immediate conditions.
Through choreographic language, I work with these elements to explore questions around the ethics and potential of imagination, materiality and responsibility, within an entangled and more-than human ecology.
Approaching the mountain as the ultimate body of matter, this practice has, and is, unfolding with the mountain as protagonist that holds and sustains these inquiries: becoming, relating and being in the mountain.
The movement practice that underlines this research is something I call from matter to fiction, and it holds a numerous amount of dance, writing and compositional exercises and scores, that approach the materiality of the body and the world, as departing points and situational agents for responsible imagination and (co-)existence.
In this practice matter is the context, the collaborator and the container, focusing in the potential of immediate and present conditions, to generate and unfold fiction, imagination and other forms of knowing, anchored, trough matter, to their situated possibilities.
