A Room With a Better View

dance performance, 3 sets of ca. 20 minutes

In this intimate solo performance, Ewa Dziarnowska builds from her studio dispositive and improvisation practice. Raw, impulsive, sharp and sometimes elusive, her movements reduce to essential dance gestures. The corporeal experience, devoid of narrative tension, seeking into the deepest bodily memories and non-rational knowledge is translated into space.

With an array of choreographic tools, Ewa designs a space which favors intuition: "let yourself do" as a score. The guiding principle of the work is to maintain immediate physical responsiveness and aesthetic curiosity - an immersion in the "here / now". Based on a very loose movement score, the performance attempts to overcome the dictates of traditional dramaturgy: linearity, semiotic understanding, symmetry, resolution. In their place, it opens a field that reveals the fragmentary nature of processes like memory, affective flow, instinct and desire.
