by getting one’s hands dirty
In by getting one’s hands dirty Varinia gives herself the task to consider collage as a performative principle. Here, movements and interactions with objects will get interrupted and fragmented, piercing the thick and opaque layer made by the quotidian and functional use of these very objects. As a result the materiality of objects might appear. In by getting one’s hands dirty, performers reconfigure attention from use to materiality, by exploring sensually actual objects on stage, by seeing and observing them by means of the sense of touch. What if another listening quality and care develops by taking things for what they can do (to us) rather than for what they are used for?
Part of EXTRACT #2
Extract #2 is a platform for seven artists who have been working in STUK’s studios in recent years. What these artists have in common is their interest in challenging the established standards. The mini festival is concluded with the symposium Transforming Relations which offers a theoretical framework and zooms in on how choreography can redefine calibrated gender relations.
