Walking, Talking Minerals

Walking, Talking Minerals is a context-specific dance performance realized in two different spatial-institutional contexts; the performing arts institution and the visual arts institution. All spaces are danced as a landscape-score. The choreography focuses on the body as a machine, extended by tools, considering the power with which humans work materials – and to an equal extent – how humans are overpowered by it. The concept has considered one material: stone, worked to different degrees by a human body creating different materializations: stone, gravel and grained into sand.
