Research on Performance/Installation
A research on site-specific performance that investigated the disorder and the unfocused simultaneity of events; obscurity, the rejection of dramaturgical triggers; unspectacular-ness, a considerable disproportion between craftsmanship and the duration of the performance; indulgence, self-reference detached from an attempt towards authenticity and transparency of the creative process; the aleatoric, the development of ‘consciousness’ through chance, disjunction of meanings, and illogical encounters with ‘other’ sort of bodies, both material and virtual; timelessness, the attempt at the exploration of ‘new’ subjectivity through the production of a entity foreign to ‘itself’. Neither pre nor post human, but out of joint with its time.

Infiltrating Presence
(Realisms and virtualisms of meaningful events)
In this research Kenzo (dancer, choreographer), Nuska (researcher, dramaturge, dancer) and Bouke (film-maker, researcher) work within a mode of conversing. Just like any conversation, this process is based on interactive, relational patterns, as well as loads of contributing sub-themes, sudden ideas, shaping arguments, mixed with contextualizing it all - body language… Seemingly fragmented, it nevertheless has its developing routes and eventually, a thorough, directional shape.
