Inspecting the boundaries of efficiency and theater, researching inventive instruments, analyzing Carl Gustav Jung’s individuation course of, post-dramatic theater and J. Grotowski’s theater concepts, she seeks to embody what’s invisible and intangible, however skilled and felt by everybody.
– The efficiency resists the concept of the individuation means of the creator of analytical psychology, CG Jung, which inspired discovering a steadiness between rationality and irrationality, developed and emphasised the significance of a continuing reference to one’s psychological life. What’s the individuation course of for you?
– Individuals typically equate themselves with a persona – that’s, with the self that we present to everybody within the social atmosphere. This results in inside conflicts, whenever you start to know that you’re totally different from what you current your self to in public. The journey of individuation is the seek for the true self, self-understanding and acceptance. We’re heterogeneous beings and our interior world is made up of many elements. None of them are good or unhealthy. You will need to identify it and perceive it, then it turns into simpler to dwell.
– The idea of J. Grotowski’s theater is related not just for the theater area – additionally it is analyzed by psychoanalysts, discovering many hyperlinks with the concepts of CG Jung and claiming that J. Grotowski continued their analysis in his works, however differently – he emphasised the expertise of the entire not by the psyche, however by the physique .
– J. Grotowski’s theater laboratory paid a number of consideration to the discharge of the impulse. The purpose was to take away the wall between the interior impulse and its expression, in order that it might go away the physique with out thought, with out embellishment. It is all regarding reality and authenticity. The themes of freedom and certainty have all the time been essential to me. I found Mr. Grotowski’s strategies whereas learning in London – our course was a theater laboratory, we labored with the physique, we examined varied bodily theater methodologies. For me, Mr. Grotowski’s strategies had been the closest – as quickly as I began working with it, I felt as if I had already executed all this earlier than, as if it had already been in my physique. It was a really intuitive attraction to those concepts, and I agree with a number of them and embrace them wholeheartedly.
– Freedom and certainty – in content material, type, self-creation?
– Myself as a performer and creator. Though I solely just lately determined that it was essential to me, I spotted that I used to be all the time searching for it in every single place. First, I found freedom in up to date dance, then theater laboratory research and work with J. Grotowski’s ensemble methodology turned the subsequent step in direction of it for me, I found new methods to seek for authenticity in motion. I believe that is what attracted me to those matters. I take into consideration them loads. For a very long time I denied my feelings, anger, disappointment and all the things that appeared unhealthy to me. I wished to not really feel it, relatively to run away from it, in order that it will be gone. It was a number of work to just accept and perceive these feelings and emotions that I assumed another person won’t like. That is who I’m and I am wonderful with that. This efficiency tells the viewer that – every of us has a wealthy interior world that others do not see, generally we do not see both, however we’re all totally different and that is fantastic.
– How did this work contribute to your private means of individuation and self-exploration? It’s stated that by physique reminiscence it’s simpler to return to traumatic moments, to discover oneself at a distance.
– The inventive course of was actually very therapeutic for me. So as to have the ability to create, I needed to identify myself what a persona is for me, what’s a shadow for me, what it means to be myself, once I lose it, once I return to it. I did this by making use of CG Jung’s Energetic Creativeness Workouts, which introduced me some fascinating observations. I noticed, acknowledged and accepted loads in myself. That is what I am sharing. However the efficiency itself shouldn’t be my theater remedy, it’s for individuals who come to expertise it with me. With this work, I wish to invite viewers to cease and look inside themselves.
– The gallery area was chosen for the efficiency, and there won’t be many parts in it – projection, shiny soundtrack.
– I wished the efficiency to be recognizable and comprehensible, though actually the work might be very summary. All the things goes slowly. All efficiency parts work individually, however collectively their connection is seen. Every phrase can develop into a key and relate how the motion coincides with the textual content that got here earlier than it or with the picture that will likely be seen later. Everybody who comes can discover one thing to get hooked on and have their very own private journey. There isn’t a single proper reply to tips on how to expertise efficiency. Viewers will be capable to select tips on how to be within the area – whether or not to comply with others or keep alone and act individually. By being collectively and targeted, they are going to develop into a part of the area.
– You’ll be blindfolded throughout the efficiency. It is a fairly distinguished character on this minimal atmosphere. Why was he chosen?
– The blindfold turns the face right into a impartial masks, the shortcoming to learn the performer’s face provides room for the interpretation of the observers. However, that interior journey jogs my memory a number of being blindfolded, as a result of it is invisible, you do not know what its limits are, what it appears to be like like or does not seem like. This image can be related to me with the Goddess of Justice standing blindfolded and holding scales and a sword. These moments of reality and justice create a way of vulnerability, a distinct presence in area, a distinct sense of time. On the identical time, it’s an fascinating and considerably insecure second, as a result of I’m with the viewers, I really feel them, however I don’t see them.
