41	EXPANDED CHOREOGRAPHY : Shifting the agency of movement in The Artificial Nature Project and 69 positions Invartsen, Mette January 2016 (has links) Through two books and a series of video documentations of live performances Mette Ingvartsen makes choreography into a territory of physical, artistic and social experimentation. The Artificial Nature Series focusses on how relations between human and non-human agency can be explored and reconfigured through choreography. By investigating and creating a ‘nonhuman theater’ questions regarding material agency, ecology, natural disasters, the Anthropocene and non-subjective performativity are posed. The resulting reflections are closely related to the poetic principles utilized to create the performances, while also drawing connections to territories outside theater. By contrast, 69 positions inscribes itself into a history of human performance with afocus on nudity, sexuality and how the body historically has been a site for political struggles. By creating a guided tour through sexual performances – from the naked protest actions of the 1960’s, through an archive ofpersonal performances into a reflection on contemporary sexual practice – this solo work rethinks audience participation and proposes a notion of soft and social choreography. The contrasting performative strategiesarticulate a twofold notion of expanded choreography: on the one hand movement is extended beyond the human body by including the agency of nonhuman performers, and on the other hand, movement is expanded into animaginary and virtual space thanks to ‘language choreography’. / <p>LINKS</p><p>https://vimeo.com/164552586</p><p>https://vimeo.com/164558381</p> material agency vibrant matter sensorial participation sensorial problems immersive stage environments color perception nonhuman choreography actants the Anthropocene non-subjective performativity ecology catastrophe technological extensions of the body the triple image animate/inanimate expression action production of affect evaporation dissolution and dispersion poetics expanded choreography Sexuality sexual liberation the performance history of the 1960s protest and politics ‘language choreography’ orality storytelling pornography affect and economy expression and liberty immaterial labor self-experimentation dance ‘soft choreography' social choreography Koreografi Dans Konstnärlig forskning Performing Arts Scenkonst
