ARTissue: Lineage
At the base of unrest lies our reconciliation with the past, our ability to host its legacy and transform it into something new and collectively important, our capacity to overcome linearity, interpolate times.
ARTissue: Lineage questions the connection between the personal/intimate and the communal/universal, exploring the boundaries between street-club dance styles and contemporary dance and how they mutually influence each other. The focus is on dance that intertwines various forms and styles. Where do styles begin and end? Are we moulding them into new forms by abandoning their original character?
The work process begins with an intimate question as a focal point: How can we express something that concerns us all? Can the personal become universal, or is it inherently universal by its very nature?
The performance is part of the ARTissue research process, in which Kristina Paunovski re-examines artistic practices in relation to movement and the body, as well as their history and roots. The author of Lineage began the conversation as a guest at the 2023 American Dance Festival.
Pre-booking is required.
