Inkonst: ”You’re presenting a residency showing on January 18. Can you tell us a bit about the residency?”
Joana: ”Starting out with an interest in destruction fantasies, the residency builds on the lecture performance PIECE OFF that I created during my Masters. There I used loaded references such as heartbreak (romantic and worldly), feelings of powerlessness and super hero fantasies to tackle emotional outlets through choreographic strategies.
For the week at Inkonst I invited a team of performing artists that each bring their own artistic practice and interest into the universe of the work. Branching from dramaturgy to choreographic film and sound work, they give new layers and possible directions to the work.
Together we continue the discourse around emotional regulation and outlets and play within the cinematic landscape of the original piece, pending between association of a teenage room, an office and a club.
How are we taught to be tempered and self-contained? In what spaces can we lose it? What kind of (queer/female) historical crowd is with us when we allow ourselves to lash out? ”
Inkonst: ”What can the audience expect from the residency showing?”
Joana: ”There will be a lot of red rose petals and there will be feelings. There will be fun. There will be grief. There will be pop music and silence. There will be dance.
We will share our experiments of „making a scene“ – something we were always told to suppress. In the showing we dive into the drama, letting it surface in surprising ways and see where it takes us.
Afterwards we invite you for a conversation on the material and the motifs of the research. We look forward to welcoming you!”
