Narrative body

There has been a few changes in my life that have made me wanna step back and look at movement from a different point of view. The first being the decision to create this duo as a choreographer, and not as a "dancer-choreographer". The second is me becoming a mother. As a new parent I got interested in understanding the way we become individuals and construct our internal selves; Building a narrative of the "I" is actually a life long process that starts early in our childhood. A new-born baby does not recognize itself as a different being, but relates itself to the mother. As the baby learns to move, it gains understanding of its body and environment, slowly gaining new experiences and nursing the development of his subjectivity. In order for a baby to walk and run, he needs to be able to let go of the mother; a sometimes difficult and emotional passage on their way to independency. As adults, when we face big changes like some of us did during the pandemic, we also need time to change and to adapt to new situations. Even when we are wiling to change, we find ourselves having constant battles with our minds, as we are moving away from the things we know and consider safe. Our body, the physical shell of our experiences, is not separated from the remembered self, but it all acts as a whole; making it sometimes hard to juggle between the past, the present and the future.
