Work Presentation: Imagining (the Imagination of) the Other

Work presentation in relation to Laura Navndrup Black’s KUV project

You look at me, you touch me with your eyes. You look at me, you see me, you see your idea of me, you see your idea of my imagination. You like my imagination, the potential it holds. You want to curl up inside it. I am an emblem of the future, I am potential, I am hope.

I look at you. I wonder how old you are, where you come from. I wonder about your past, what you where like as a child. I wonder what you regret, what you would have done differently. I would like to know if you are happy and why.

About the KUV project

"Imagining (the Imagination of) the Other! is a choreographic enquiry that approaches the child as choreographer and as choreographic material; as a capable performance maker as well as a particular presence on stage; as someone who is taken seriously as a contributor of meaning.

Through practical intergenerational collaborations, the project rejects expressive movement in favour of expressive concepts and task-dance. It proposes an artistic enquiry that focus on the child-adult relation as aesthetic subject and aims to develop ways of collaborating, that do not favour one set of experiences over another.

This performance iteration deals specifically with ways of seeing and being seen.
