This creation is a commissioned work that premièred the 17th of March, 2008, at the TanzQuartierWien as part of “Walk+Talk -Still Moving”. It makes up part of a series of ten proposals created in the same context and commissioned by Philipp Gehmacher.

It is a solo that adopts a hybrid form in between conference and performance.

 

My working method finds itself at the intersection of these two distinct ways of updating a thought process.I would like to create a form that contains the objectivity of a “self-analysis” of the work as much as the subjectivity that remains to my mind the potential of a work of art. The method is directly confronted with this uneasy connection between objectivity and subjectivity.

I would furthermore like to alternate and to mix pure physicality with words, regardless if they are theoretical or anecdotal, affirmative or interrogative.

 

Disposition(s) is a piece that will be reactivated during every presentation or series of representations. However the mode of functioning will be the same as at the time of its creation in March 2008 at the TanzQuartier.

The creative work develops around three different lines of thought:

 

1/ To write about what I consider to be my method: what is its source, to which artistic and intellectual currants does it belong, what are the different events, the different practices that have led me to produce what I am currently producing. To attempt an analysis of the process undertaken in order to start a piece of writing that aspires towards objectivity.

2/ To list and to physically go through the different processes developed since 2003.

3/ To focus on subjectivity, to update the possible gap between what I think I am doing, my desires, and what I actually am doing.

 

In the desire for objectivity (or objectification) there is always a lot of will and inside of this will, it often becomes hard to separate what one is from what one would like to be: the objectivity is then a horizon that is not the best place to reach even though one constantly has to head in that direction.

I am interested in creating a piece that invents itself in the gap between what I know and what I believe, between what I think and what I dance. It is therefore necessary to organise my thoughts between intuitions and certainties, and even more so, between what I think are intuitions and however are recurring themes and what appears to be an anchor, but that turns out to be a lot more fragile or circumstantial.
