This resting, patience
Part ghostly repository of unconsumed sensuality, an installative kinetic fadeout, part somatic (strip)tease, This resting, patience addresses attraction, voluntary objectification, proximity and the aesthetics of bareness. Employing an experimental format, it upsets the passivity of installation and the time-delineation and dramaturgical resolution of performance and steps away from the tradition of viewing dance as an alienated spectacle to instead emphasise its immanent sociability. In its devotion to the body, This resting, patience proposes sensuousness and dancing as timeless and democratically available technologies of undoing the world and projecting the continuous present into a future that lasts, forever suspended and unfolding, quintessentially tender, infatuated, attentive.
born in Poland, is a dancer and choreographer based in Berlin and working internationally. Her latest projects, https://4677684728466.com and Untitled.Solo, engage with the ideologies of improvisatory processes and embodied knowledge in countering the prevailing need for rationality, linearity and sense-making. She is interested in a poetic dimension of dance, its inherent sensuality, as well as the pleasure and pain it brings along. Feral, rough and raw, but not devoid of precision and expertise in relation to movement technique(s), her practice challenges ways in which dance circulates within the context of bourgeois theatrical conventions and the product-oriented entertainment industry. Ewa is a graduate of SEAD, Salzburg, and HZT Berlin and a 2015 DanceWEB scholarship recipient. As a performer, most recently, she has worked with Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, Michele Rizzo and Enad Marouf.
