The 2021-2022 Season

After the whirlwind that has been 2020 and the start of 2021, we’ve gotten to experience what it really means for the arts to endure, despite whatever obstacles might present themselves. Shows that were postponed are returning, and both student and guest directors have exciting plans! Take a look at what Theatre & Dance has got planned for 2021-2022 – starting with this Friday’s premiere of Anxious People!

Fall 2021

First Year Showcase

Anxious People

"Headed toward a place of connection." - playwright Carol Y. Lee

Anxious People! by Carol Y. Lee is a brand new play that explores the human condition. What makes us nervous, upset, embarrassed, heartbroken? When can we find these valuable moments of connection that remind us that we are not alone? The First Year Show is a community-driven show, open to all first years regardless of prior experience. Through vignette style writing, this ensemble based show is the perfect opportunity to learn more about theatre on campus, meet new first years with similar interests, and create that connection that will last throughout college.

Friday, September 17th and Saturday September 18th at 7:30 PM | Harvey M. Powers Theatre

check out the promo video for Anxious People made by Ryan Bremer ‘22, along with some thoughts on his inspirations behind the work (Inspirations and Reflections on a Publicity Video, Or: Ryan Talks About Fonts for Way Too Long)

Showcase

The Taming of the Shrew(s)

By William Shakespeare

Directed and Adapted by Katharine Cognard-Black

September 24-26th Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm Sunday 2pm

Bucknell Hall Free Admission

Taking a fresh look at Shakespeare’s classic but challenging play The Taming of the Shrew, director/adaptor Katharine Cognard-Black ’21 will be exploring three interpretations of select scenes from The Taming of the Shrew(s) and will provide distinct, and sometimes even contradictory ideas, about gender dynamics within the play and in Shakespeare’s work. Cognard-Black’s new adaptation examines and questions the play’s complex depictions of gender and identity within a contemporary context.

“Shakespeare’s plays do not answer questions; they are not definitive about characters, themes, and concepts. Rather, they raise questions that are subject to interpretation of every new century, every director, every reader, and every sensibility.”

Emma Smith, author of This is Shakespeare

The Fall Theatre Mainstage 2021: Two Shows in Rep

Repertory theater, a method of producing theatre from a resident company in alternation or rotation, has been a popular style of offering plays through-out the history of Western theatre. The benefits of companies being able to produce multiple shows ‘in rep’ are many. In commercial theatre, companies can offer increased variety and riskier, more controversial productions when paired with (and subsidized by) plays that have been more popular in the past. The tradition of repertory theatre values a commitment to a more experimental rehearsal style, rich with time for exploration. This style tends to embrace a minimalist approach in small spaces, offering an intimate atmosphere within which audiences can experience plays more viscerally. Attention is also given to the possibility that costumes, props and sets can be interchangeable between productions in creative ways.

At Bucknell, we chose to explore the idea of two plays in-rep because we see the value in experimental projects as well as the rare opportunity for the audience to be up close to the story and the actors. More than that, we saw it as an opportunity for these two plays to be more profoundly in dialogue with each other. As we often enjoy in our theatre courses, the chance to read, compare and contrast two stories is a treat which inspires much conversation and gives us a richer understanding of the subject matter as a whole. In classes, comparing plays seen through the eyes of differently gendered playwrights can be astonishing. In our collaboration, the identities of the playwrights is just the beginning. We seek to compare, contrast and connect these two plays in multiple ways.

Two different families, two different time periods, two totally different settings seemingly having nothing in common - and yet each play is centered on the devastating complexities of race in America. What does it mean when a white family in the early 2000’s is forced to come to terms with a painful past steeped in oppression? What does it mean when a Black family in the mid 1950’s tries to imagine a better future and hurts one another trying to find their way forward? Further, how is the possibility of "family" formation pitched into crisis in the afterlife of slavery?

Do these two families have anything in common? Are they connected? Or are they merely ghosts in each other’s stories, haunting one another with secrets, pain, and the regret of choices never made. Our two plays in-rep: Appropriate by Brandon Jacob Jenkins and Crumbs from the Table of Joy by Lynn Nottage offer our community at Bucknell the chance to experience, question and struggle through the many ways in which all of our stories all intersect.

We are excited to present these two shows, not as separate productions, but as a connected project. Two plays, one stage. Two productions, one weekend. Two casts, one company. Two extraordinary experiences. One sensational program. Join us for the Bucknell Department of Theatre and Dance’s Fall Theatre Mainstage Productions 2021: Crumbs from the Table of Joy and Appropriate. It’s about time we look deeply at the challenging stuff that continues to haunt us, together.

Crumbs from the Table of Joy

by Lynn Nottage

Directed by Dr. Jaye Austin Williams

Friday Oct 22 @ 7:30pm, Saturday Oct 23 @ 2 p.m., Monday Oct 25 @ 7:30pm

Tustin Studio Theatre $12 general /$7 students

Crumbs from the Table of Joy tells the story of the Crump family - a recently widowed father, Godfrey, who heads up north to Brooklyn, New York from Florida in 1950, with his two daughters, Ernestine and Ermina. Ernestine, from whose perspective the story unfolds, wants to become a writer. She bonds fiercely with her dead mother's sister, Lily, who has already migrated north in search of a life beyond the formidable struggles black people are facing every which way, and a platform upon which to fight against them. Godfrey, in search of a sense of belonging to wrench him from his grief, takes solace in the teachings of Father Divine. Young Ernestine studies these two survival strategies and draws some conclusions of her own when, by play's end, we find she has foreseen more of the twists and turns to come than we could ever dare imagine.

Congratulations and Welcome to the Cast of Crumbs From the Table of Joy:

Tustin Studio Theatre $12 general /$7 students

Appropriate, by Brandon Jacob Jenkins, takes us on a journey to a decaying Southern plantation home whose deceased patriarch leaves behind an unexpected legacy for his estranged children returning to divide up the estate. The grown children include a disgraced high school principal, a wealthy New York businessman, and the black sheep of the family who climbs through a window after having been disconnected for over a decade. In addition to bringing their own baggage to this dysfunctional family reunion, each sibling brings their new family members, including a wife, children, and a fiance. As they begin the process of painstakingly going through the contents of their father's years of hoarding to give, sell or throw away his treasures they come across a disturbing photo album. One which contains nothing but page after page of photos of black men being lynched. The family’s discovery about their father cuts right to the heart of their identities; as individuals, as a family, and as a part of an American history they thought they understood. Part ghost story, part family drama, part black comedy; Appropriate offers an unflinching look at one American family and their very own racial reckoning.

Lewis Hutchinson (1733-1773)

Lewis Hutchinson, also known as the Mad Master, was a Scottish immigrant to Jamaica, and was the 1st recorded serial killer in Jamaica’s history, as well as one of its most prolific. It is believed that he studied medicine in Scotland. Hutchinson came to Jamaica in the 1760s to head an estate called Edinburgh Castle. It is said that he legally obtained ownership of the house but that he maintained his group of cattle by stealing strays from neighbours. This wouldn’t be the only accusation made about Hutchinson. Shortly after his arrival in Jamaica, travellers started disappearing, and suspicion grew. Edinburgh Castle was the only populated location for miles on the way from Saint Ann’s Bay, and unsuspecting travellers would rest at the castle – only to become victims of the Mad Master. Hutchinson killed for sport, what would be described today as thrill killing, as people of all races, shapes, sizes, and incomes were considered fair game. It’s not entirely known what is true about Hutchinson’s murders – he would shoot lone travellers and was said to feed on their blood before dismembering them. According to some sources, he or his slaves would then throw the remains into a cotton tree or a sinkhole for animals to eat. The sinkhole became known as “Hutchinson’s Hole”. At the height of his killing spree, he would invite guests to the castle to be entertained before killing them.

Hutchinson’s reputation meant that many would avoid him through fear. His slaves’ tales of awful treatment and the gruesome details of his killings made him a legend – this is why he was allowed to be free for a time, until he shot John Calendar, an English soldier who was attempting to apprehend Hutchinson. After shooting Calendar, he ran south to Old Harbour and boarded a ship. The Royal Navy, commanded by Admiral Rodney, caught him before he could escape. Shortly after his arrest, Lewis Hutchinson was tried and found guilty. In 1773 he was hanged in Spanish Town Square. Although his final murder count is unknown, searches carried out in his home after his arrest turned up a large amount of clothes and 43 watches. During his trial, slaves’ stories suggested that he did not act alone. Planter James Walker and Roger Maddix were sentenced to death for their roles in the murders of farmer William Lickley and schoolmaster Timothy Cronin. Dorcas, Maddix’s wife, Miss Susanna Cole and Miss Elizabeth Thomas watched Cronin’s death by strangulation as he was pinioned in stocks. Cronin’s watch and seal were found in Thomas’ possession – she was found not guilty.

You don’t get an invite to these weddings unless you’re vaccinated

Auf den Spuren bewegter Körper

Franziska Zaida Schrammel über die kollaborative Installation ‘Geschichte(n) des Körpers’ von Salon Flux (Künstlerhaus, Wien 2017)

Wie sind Emotionen und Bewegungen miteinander verknüpft?

Wie fühlen, verarbeiten und kommunizieren wir über unseren Körper, durch unseren Körper und mit unserem Körper?

Wie drücken sich Körpergeschichten in Bewegung aus?

Wie können sie in andere Medien, künstlerische Prozesse und Zeichensysteme transformiert und übersetzt werden?

Dies sind einige zentrale Fragen der künstlerischen Recherche von Mira Loew. Ihr interdisziplinäres und kollaboratives Projekt moving feelings (2017) bildet den Ausgangspunkt und das Herzstück der Installation des Kollektivs Salon Flux. Nach der Familienaufstellung im Rahmen der Parallel Vienna 2016 steht mit Loew einmal mehr eine künstlerische Position im Fokus einer Salon Flux Ausstellung. Sie hat eine Reihe Kollaborationen innerhalb und außerhalb von Salon Flux initiiert. Auf der einen Seite war ihre choreografische Versuchsanordnung von Gefühlen ein direkter Impuls für die anderen Salon Flux Mitglieder_innen Jane Frances Dunlop, Belen Zahera und David Altweger. Sie haben anhand von ausgewähltem Material von Loews Work in progress neue Arbeiten mit Sound, Projektion und auf skulpturaler Ebene entwickelt. Auf der anderen Seite haben bei moving feelings auch die Tänzerinnen Vilte Svarplyte und Flora Rogeboz, und die Labanotationsexpertin Leslie Rotman mitgewirkt. Die Ausstellung erzählt daher auch eine Geschichte über künstlerisch und sozial wertvollen Austausch und macht intermediale Übersetzungsformen transparent. Wie immer bei Salon Flux, wird der Ausstellungsraum durch Pflanzen und Möbeln mit Charisma und Geschichte aufgeladen und zum vorübergehenden Zuhause und einladenden Versammlungsort.

moving feelings

Es ist schwer zu sagen, wo und wann die Geschichte von moving feelings (2017) beginnt. Mira Loews künstlerische Recherche über die Verkörperung von emotionalen Zuständen in Bewegung reicht weit zurück. Fotografische Reflexionen und Selbstportraits von Körper(n) im Raum waren immer schon Teil ihrer künstlerischen Praxis. Sie arbeitet im Zwischenraum von Fotografie, Performance und Video und bevorzugt in kollaborativen Prozessen, sowohl vor als auch hinter der Kamera.

Mit der fortlaufenden Serie Positionierungen/positionings hat sie einen eigenen Begriff für ihr persönliches Navigieren und Bewegen in Räumen gefunden, bei dem ihr Körper Medium und Subjekt zugleich ist.

Durch Choreografie, Fotografie, Video, und Tanznotation untersucht moving feelings im Künstlerhaus Gesten bewegter Körper und hinterfragt Dichotomien und Korrelationen zwischen Körper und Geist, Bewegung und Sprache, Emotion und Geste. Bewegt sind diese Körper im doppelten Wortsinn, bezugnehmend auf Gabriele Brandstetters Verwendung von „movere“ als innere und äußere „Bewegung, die Bewegtheit induziert“. Mira Loew hat ihre Ideen und Fragen für eine Bewegungabfolge von fast drei Minuten (ursprünglich ausgehend von 16mm Filmlänge) in einem Score schriftlich zusammengefasst. Mit Tänzerin Vilte Svarplyte hat sie die Leitmotive diskutiert und durch Improvisationen in Bewegung umgesetzt. Mira Loews Entscheidung für weibliche Körper ist dank ungleicher Machtverhältnisse zuungunsten von Frauen immer eine bewusste, feministische Entscheidung. Sie fungieren natürlich auch als Selbstreferenz.

Loews Score liest sich wie eine persönliche „Archäologie der Gefühle“ (Brandstetter):

Wie fühlen sich spezielle Bewegungen an? Welche Gefühle sind an welche Bewegungen geknüpft und umgekehrt? Wie gestaltet sich die Beziehung zwischen Gefühlen und Raum? Wo im Körper sitzt ein bestimmtes Gefühl? Wie lassen sie sich bewegen, wie kann du dich durch sie, mit ihnen bewegen? Welche Form nehmen Emotionen im Raum an? Welchen Raum nehmen sie ein? Wie formen sie deine Haltung? Wie trägst du Gefühle mit dir?

Mira Loew spielt mit verschiedenen Bewegungsmustern und ihren emotionalen Ausformungen: folding, unfolding, carrying, holding, extending. Vilte Svarplyte hat diese Elemente von unterschiedlich konnotiertem folding bis extending (with happiness/with sadness) zu einem fließenden Ablauf mit wechselnden Tempi und Dynamiken ausformuliert.

Mira Loew hat die fertige Tanzsequenz von Vilte Svarplyte in einem hellen, schlichten Studio frontal filmisch dokumentiert, und dieses Video an Leslie Rotman in New York zur Übersetzung in Labanotation gesendet. Die zweite Tänzerin und Ausgebildete in Labanotation Flora Rogeboz hat nur diese Notation als Anleitung zur Bewegung erhalten. Ihre beeindruckend genaue Umsetzung wurde ebenfalls im gleichen Studio und mit dem gleichen Bildausschnitt gefilmt.

Die Labanotation ist ein komplexes System zur Aufzeichnung und Analyse menschlicher Bewegung mittels Kinetogrammen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Tanzschriften, ist die Labanotation nicht tanzideologisch gebunden. Sie geht auf Rudolf von Laban (1879–1958), einen wichtigen Choreografen, Tänzer und Bewegungsforscher im europäischen Modernen Tanz, zurück. Mit Schrifttanz begründete er 1927 diese Form der Kinetographie. Die Schrift wurde in den USA (von Ann Hutchinson Guest zur Labanotation) und in Europa anders weiterentwickelt, und wird heute regelmäßig angeglichen.

Labanotation fängt Raum- und Zeitbeziehungen, sowie Berührungen, Qualität und Ausführungsform von Bewegungen ein. Die in Loews Notation enthaltenen horizontalen Bögen stehen zum Beispiel für eine kurzzeitige Raumbeziehung - die Grundform des Bogens für "touch" - Etwas berührt etwas. Bei der Notation tritt die ursprüngliche Autorschaft und Kontrolle in den Hintergrund. Die Notation ist somit ein autonomes Objekt. Ihr Verhältnis zum Original ist Barbara Büscher zufolge eine „mediale Transformation“. Die vollständige Entzifferung kann nur durch Expertise erfolgen. Notation, im Sinne einer „Verzeichnung choreografischen Denkens“ nach Gabriele Brandstetter, „ermöglicht das Festhalten und Re-Aktualisieren choreografischen Materials“ (Gitta Barthel). Sie sieht „Choreografie als Schreiben von Bewegung und über sie“. Mira Loews Projekt impliziert ein erweitertes Verständnis von Choreografie. Zeitgenössische Choreografie kann vieles bedeuten. Sogar die Loslösung des Choreografiebegriffs von der Bewegung der menschlichen Körper in Raum und Zeit in Richtung einer „Raum-Schrift“ (Julia Wehren). Sie kann aber auch „als eine Weise der Herstellung temporärer Ordnungen, als ästhetisches und räumliches Denken” (Gabriele Klein) umrissen werden – ein wesentlicher Aspekt in Loews Oeuvre.

Übersetzung

Mira Loew zeigt die Bewegungsabfolge in verschiedenen Medien und Entwicklungsstadien mit unterschiedlichen Akteurinnen. Zwei Videos, mehrere analoge Fotografien und Kontaktstreifen und ein großformatiger Ausschnitt der Labanotation als abstrakte Zeichnung an der Wand (virtuos handgemalt von Janina Kepczynski), lassen diese Posen, Gesten und Bewegungen von Vilte Svarplyte und Flora Rogeboz auf vielfältige Weise nachempfinden. Neben den Bewegungen wird so der kollaborative künstlerische Prozess von der Entstehung, der Übersetzung bis zur Transformation visualisiert. Übersetzen bedeutet für Umberto Eco Verhandeln, Verstehen und Mitteilen. Radegundis Stolze definiert es als „ein Handeln im Sprachlichen“. Laut Umberto Eco ist das „Prinzip der interpretatorischen Offenheit“ auch bei einer möglichst genauen Übersetzung legitim. Dramaturg Guy Cools veranschaulicht eine gewünschte Form von Missinterpretation von Zeichen sehr schön mit Charles Sanders Peirce: „The signs we create are invitations to be interpreted.“ - „which you misread as 'interrupted' and which makes a lot of sense too.“ Mira Loew beleuchtet in diesem Sinne auch die Lücken, Verfremdungen und Ergänzungen ihres Projekts. Brüche sind Körpern und ihrer Sprache immanent. Im Gegenüberstellen und im „synchronen“ Abspielen der beiden Videos werden die kleinen Verschiebungen und Differenzen erst erkennbar. Interessant ist aber weniger der tatsächliche akribische Vergleich, als der menschliche Drang nach Vergleich und Einordnung, die Suche nach Un/ähnlichkeiten. Mira Loew interessiert in ihren Begegnungen mit Tänzer_innen generell die spezifische intuitive Körpersprache, und inwiefern angelernte Modi durchscheinen oder womöglich aufgebrochen werden.

Darüber hinaus fördert Loew mit den beiden Tanzversionen und ihrem Entstehungsprozess auch eine kinästhetische Empathie, die embodiment, das eigene leibliche Bewusstsein spürbar macht. Unterstützt von Spiegelsystemen im Gehirn, können Zuseher_innen an Bewegungen indirekt teilhaben. Neuroästhetiker I. G. Hagendoorn spricht von einer „internal simulation“ von „movement sensations“. Die aufgefächerte Präsentationsform heterogener Körperchiffren lädt die Betrachter_in regelrecht zur Studie und Entzifferung ein.

elephants

Das Projekt elephants/Elefantinnen (2015) von Mira Loew, das als Fotoserie und Fotocollage ebenfalls zu sehen ist, zeigt Ausschnitte ihres nackten Oberkörpers mit kunstvoll gebogen Armposen. Loew hat mit diesem Projekt erstmals eigene Positionierungen in Labanotation übersetzen lassen. Elefantinnen war auch dieInspiration zum Thema moving feelings. Der „elephant in the room“, über den man_nicht sprechen will, verdeutlicht eine Geste des Unbehagens und des Verdrängens. Mira Loew ergründet und nützt körperliche Unbehagen, Trauer, Einsamkeit, aber auch Humor und verspielte Neugier in ihren Werken.

Drei weitere künstlerische Positionen sind Teil des kollaborativen Ausstellungsraumes von Salon Flux.

Jane Frances Dunlops Collage slow rhyme for an echo (2017) erweitert die Installation durch akkustische und textuelle Impulse. Die Rede ist von Körpern und Geschichte. Über zwei Lautsprecher sind unterschiedliche, teils überlagerte Stimmen und ihre zeitverzögerten Echos zu hören: Mal scheinen sie weit entfernt, als leises Murmeln, mal dringen sie nah ans Ohr, verleiten einen unmittelbar zum Innehalten. Dunlop verarbeitet auch Soundpartikel von moving feelings wie Geräusche von Körpern in Bewegung, von Loews Kamera und den Takt eines Metronoms. Dazwischen Stille.

Der gesprochene Text ist komplex aufgebaut. Die Reime bewegen sich in den Rillen und Spuren von Geschichte. Wie die Reflexionen von Schallwellen kehren Worte und Phrasen wieder und werden laut weitergeschrieben und gedacht.„the kind of backwards forwards romance resonance“ heißt es da passend. Der Text reflektiert den kollaborativen Austausch, Körpergeschichten- und wissen, Übersetzungs- und Schreibprozesse, Naheverhältnisse, die Un/ordnung und den Lauf der Dinge, die Geschichte als unendliches Knäuel, und „possibility as a space“. Die eindringliche Soundinstallation zieht die Besucher_in in den Raum hinein.

Jane Frances Dunlop untersucht in ihren Performances, Texten und Videos die Verflechtung von Sprache, Performativität, digitalen Technologien und Emotionen. Loew und Dunlop arbeiten seit einigen Jahren in engem künstlerischem Austausch/exchange, der sich in tatsächlichen sowie digitalen Räumen abspielt und manifestiert.

Dunlops „possibility as a space“ könnte Pate für David Altwegers Exercises in Storytelling 1-3 (2017) sein. Was passiert in diesen mysteriösen Bildern? Die geheimnisvolle Komposition aus Fotografie, Video, Lichtakzenten, künstlerischen Objekten und digitaler Malerei bzw. der digital generierten Überblendung wirkt faszinierend auf die Betrachter_in. Altweger projiziert auf Mira Loews Körper bzw. auf inszenierte Bilder von ihrem Körper. Er überspielt ihre Positionen, welche aus der Recherche von moving feelings entspringen. Ein karger Raum wird zum rituellen Ort und zur Leinwand seiner fragmentarischen Lichtgeschichten. Loews Körper und ausgewählte Raumelemente werden digital vermessen und mit Leuchtreflexen- und geometrischen Formen neu gerahmt. In der Technik des projection mapping bzw. video mapping zeigt sich David Altwegers umfassende Praxis einer Videokunst, in die Motion Design und Visuals einfließen, um eine mehrdimensionale und multimediale Erfahrung und Interpretation von Wirklichkeit erlebbar zu machen. Eine Praxis, die Altweger seit vielen Jahren immer wieder mit Loews Schaffen verbindet.

Belen Zahera’s künstlerische und theoretische Erforschung von Objekten und ihren Oberflächen, Produktion von Wissen, Geschichte und Sprache, äußert sich in unterschiedlichen Medien und Materialien. Auf den ersten Blick zeigt der in vier Teilen ausgestellte martyr (2017) puzzleartig angeordnete Bodenplatten aus Holz mit kunstvoll eingearbeiteten Mustern, die an Schaltkreise erinnern. Zaheras Anregung von Mira Loew waren Tanznotationen. In martyr sind nicht nur Bewegungen einer Holzfräsmaschine eingekerbt. Vielmehr sind es Einschreibungen von früheren Werken Zaheras und deren Geschichte.

Der “Märtyrer”, im Deutschen “Opferplatte” genannt, ist eine mehrfach verwendbare Schutzplatte der Holzfräsmaschine, die unter dem eigentlichen Werkstück liegt und mit diesem verbunden (verschraubt) ist. Bei diesem maschinellen Fertigungsverfahren wird das Material in Form von Spänen entfernt, um eine gewünschte Kontur zu erreichen. Die hier verwendete Opferplatte erzählt über die vielen Herstellungsprozesse von Zaheras Arbeiten, mit denen sie in Berührung gekommen ist. Sie enthält deren Spuren und Abdrücke. Die Berührung bringt laut George Didi-Huberman die Spur als „Markierung einer Abwesenheit“ hervor. Diese Berührungen spiegeln das Paradoxon von gleichzeitiger An- und Abwesenheit wider. martyr fängt bruchstückhafte Nachbilder andere Werke ein, und ist für sich eine einzigartige Arbeit. Die einzelnen Puzzleteile, unterschiedlich große Vierecke, verbinden sich in logischer Anordnung zu größeren Einheiten. Zaheras skulpturale Objekte verschwimmen farblich mit dem hellbraunen Boden des Künstlerhauses und fügen sich so unaufdringlich in den Raum ein. Einzelne dunklere Teile heben die geometrischen Gebilde optisch wieder hervor.

Gerahmt wird martyr von Pflanzen und schwarzen Linien auf dem Boden. Diese Akzente sind wie die weiße Muschel, der Teppich und die schwarzen Arne Jacobsen Stühle „übliche Verdächtige“ in Salon Flux Räumen. Salon Flux spielt gerne mit dem semiprivaten/semi-öffentlichen Charakter eines Ausstellungsraumes. Es geht darum, diesen temporär einzunehmen und mit einfachen Mitteln zum vorübergehenden Zuhause bzw. einladenden Versammlungsort zu machen. Dieses Ritual des „claiming a space“ ist ein integraler Teil der kollektiven Praxis: Zuerst wird ein Teppich ausgerollt, dann folgen Sitzgelegenheiten, Pflanzen etc. Diese Elemente mit Wohn- und Studiocharakter sind Versatzstücke aus Lebens- und Arbeitsräumen - Räume, die sich oft nicht trennen lassen. Als Träger von Geschichten laden sie den Raum mit persönlichen Narrativen auf. Zuletzt werden die Linien am Boden gezogen. Sie stellen keine Grenzen oder genaue Weganweisungen für die Besucher_in da, sondern spiegeln ein Beziehungsgeflecht, das sich potenziell zwischen den künstlerischen Positionen im Raum entfaltet. Es steht natürlich auch für die kollaborative Arbeitsweise von Salon Flux.

Geschichte(n) des Körpers ist ein Hybridraum, in dem sich Körper, Zeit und E-motionalität schichten. Der Ausstellungsbeitrag ist das Ergebnis künstlerischer und freundschaftlicher Begegnungen, geprägt von einer großzügigen „Geste des Adressierens“. In Sandra Noeths Bezug auf Jacques Derrida ist diese Geste „Teil einer Praxis der Verantwortung“ (…), „die unsere grundlegenden Prinzipien des Mit-ein-ander-Seins befragt“. In ihren Studien zu Bewegung, Sprache und Körper gehen Mira Loew, Jane Frances Dunlop, David Altweger und Belen Zahera Hand in Hand. Sandra Noeth erkennt wie „in der Hinwendung zum Anderen“ der „Körper in Resonanz“ und in „einen aktiven Zustand des Zuhörens“ versetzt wird.
