I’m working on the embodiement of emotions topic and how this embodiement has to do with the physical feelings one feels when experiencing an emotion, whether positive or negative.
I am interested in the possibilities of using emotions to motivate movement qualities and forms of representation.
What language of movement and emdodiment can emotion speak?
How might this form of emotion be represented throught body and skin?
What does it look and sound like when emotions are embodied through the skin?
In all of these question of embodiement, I intend to use my body in space, using a large latex skin that I apply and prepare beforehand on the floor on which I will perform.
The body responds to an emotion that interacts with the latex and is shaped and reshaped. The performer transmits an instinctive dialogue between her body movements and the material. The body creates a kind of traction, tension and resistance by trying to release the latex from the floor.
