Artist Talk following 'My Breast on the Table'

This experimental, interactive solo work intentionally plays with the genre of Reality TV and popular TED talk lectures. Using storytelling as an element of composition, the work is reshaped in real-time. In the after show talk with Ilya Noé we want to reflect viewing habits and discuss the influence of origin, sex and gender.

The talk after the performance seeks an open conversation about choreography and production made by non-european artists. Which role does the place of graduation play, in terms of european educational (dance) institutes? How can we invite the audience to observe beyond european influenced viewing habits? To what extend our gaze is framed by European institutions, Festivals curators or funding guidelines? The audience is encouraged to look for a sensibility to any kind of contemporary dance of any sex and any gender in our community. Also reflecting the visual patterns and habbits in our own communities and try to articulate observations and irritations could be topics of the discussion.
