National Chain 2020/Social Practices
Erschienen in: And here we meet: Choreography at the edge of time – Alexandra Waierstall (06/2025)
Create a mental map of going through three or four different spots in space and witness how you exhaust the possibilities of proximity and distance to each other, to Jan Dibbets’s window: how close is close, how far is far, always keeping in mind the obligatory two meters apart while being supported and surrounded by National Chain. What is the dance that arises out of these conditions?
When you are filming, allow the camera to also connect to your body. While you are with the space and the person you are filming, stay close to your own physicality too. Keep observing from the place where you are filming and allow that to inform your dancing and the dancing to inform your filming.
When you film and when you dance the body breathes with the space and the other.
