12 Years of Movement Inquiry: Selected Volumes
This is where anNa introduces De. The one who moved through the transition from a body in a state of non-existence and immobility to a form of a living dancer. Not by defying its limitations, but by acknowledging their wisdom.
These notebooks are representative samples from a vast range of categories within a 12-year movement practice - developed through both my own transformative research and the lived experience of the unique bodies I have guided in masterclasses - ranging from essential physical observations to the emergence of a complete artistic being in motion.
A very interesting Practice has occurred through this work over the years; its specific Book is currently being created and will be a part of this group of Black Books of Movement soon.
A brief overview of selected Notebooks from the De archive:
Physical & Emotional Body
Equivalents & Mirrors
Parts of a series documenting a profound study on the correspondences between the physical and the emotional body, realized throughout years of personal, diverse physiotherapy procedures, creative practices, and my work with other people's distinct, singular bodies in motion.
De Notebooks
The Living Artistic Body
Parts of the central De work series. The space where the living body as a whole - from its wise mechanics and its specific injuries to its particular nervous system, its enchanting narrative, and its unique form - is observed, accompanied, and cultivated in its process of revealing itself as an artist.
De Extended
Heterotopias of Movement
The inscribed Movement
Parts of a series in which diverse physical manifestations - such as sounds, dialogues, temperatures or narratives - are translated into movement, before being further transformed into an inscription on paper.
A space dedicated to the profound role of movement within every experience and every art.
De Kiosk
A Core Study
This is one of the most vital studies I have ever realized. Its significance both for art and lived exprerience lies not only in the findings, but in the serious life limitations that led to it.
Further information on this study is not available in writing. It is accessible exclusively through Masterclasses.
Field Studies
Over the years, my practice is being informed by several diverse, embodied investigations. These studies represent a deep research into the nature of movement, impacting my work in ways that go far beyond their external physical mechanics.
These areas of always expanding inquiry include among others:
Per - Cussions
Silent Film Movement
Puppet | Marionette | Doll
Martial Arts | Stick Training
These physical studies are deeply rooted in ongoing dialogue with science, litterature, poetry and art.
The resulting insights are woven into the structure of my masterclasses; they are not taught as separate subjects, but as a singular, lived intelligence.
