collection of matter
COLLECTION OF MATTER:
a performance / participatory installation that explores the body as a container,; through the objectification of a body, aims to create a platform that embraces the multiplicity and diversity of being, of nature and of the universe.
What does a body contain? – the skin as container
What permeates through this membrane?
What invisible connections keep me alive?
How can I objectify a body and how can an object gain meaning?
It emerges as an attempt to facilitate a space for verbal and gestural dialogue, guided mainly by a constantly changing performance format: performance, lecture, poetry reading, dialogue, score, installation, live music.
Ana Jordão is a performer, originally rooted in contemporary circus, constantly in transit moving through the fields of dance, improvisation and research. She approaches movement practice beyond technicality, as a site for metaphor, for philosophy, as a strategy for understanding mobility in a broader sense, and as a tool for self-reflection. Being a polyglot, her interest is in communication: between bodies, between bodies and objects, between a performer and the audience, between art forms.
