Escape the escape - attempts to leave the body.

Att Iämna kroppen (Escape the escape — attempts to leave the body) is an invesigation in resistance and escapism. The investigation has been a personal process of provocing and observing, describing and analyzing internal and external resistance. Resistance to beeing in the body, resistance towards writing this text, resitance to accepting authority and conformity.

This text makes an attempt to sort out what are the outer factors, the situation, and what are the internal factors that triggers a reaction or response of resistance. The perception of the intemal and external is based on the process of finishing a BA in Contemporary Dance Performance, why the text also makes notice on the internalisation of discipline in estethic bodily practices as specifically problematic. Discipline in relation to lack of motivation. The process going through resistance, lack of motivation, followed by painful indifference comes to a point of perhaps origin, insinuating it's end as the actual beginning.

"Life is really very beautiful, it is not this ugly thing that we have made of it; and you can appreciate its richness, its depth, its extraordinary loveliness only when you revolt against everything - against organized religion, against tradition, against the present rotten society - so that you as a human being find out for yourself what is true. Not to imitate but to discover - that is education, is it not?"

J. Krishnamurti
