WELCOME TO THE LIMINAL OFFICE
Following on my MFA graduation research project
Welcome to my liminal office, the very first office to treat liminal states with care.
Paying attention to what is no more, what is not yet, the in-between, the transient.
The protocol goes as following, I meet people, with whom I have an intimate conversation, about moments when they have been in a liminal state or about the role of liminality in their lives. Our intimate conversations are not being documented, no audio recordings, no video's, no photo's. These conversations are equally ephemeral as the medium of dance. I translate our conversations into a movement practice. To conclude our conversation, an ‘exchange agreement’ is drawn up. It is a contract between the person with whom I had an intimate conversation with, and myself in which the person gives me permission to go into the dance studio with the conversation in my mind, in my body, and from there let movements arise.
I then carry our conversation and your liminal state (through my body) through life.
Once in the studio, I am alone. Our conversation in my mind, in my body, letting movements emerge, generating movements. No audience. This too happens in intimacy. My body, the studio, the energy of the conversation and my movements.
Every movement session ends with a registration on paper (“drawing”). A registration of energy. Of us connecting. Of me protecting your liminal state. Carrying your liminal state. Caring for your liminal state.
In a highly polarized world, perhaps now, more than ever, we desperately need an in-between space. The registrations and ‘exchange agreements’ are kept - like dossiers - in an archive folder.
"My body is becoming an archive of liminality".
