Researcher: Caterina Mora
Inquiring into entertainment as research, I seek in the contamination generated by mashing-up, ways of representing academic dance and “world dance”. This project uses conflicted Trans-Atlantic embodiment as a way to address simultaneous creation, exposition and the documentation of the practice of “bastard-cheap” lecture-performances and the pedagogical approach of sharing.
How is Trans-Atlantic conflicted embodiment used to highlight, question and resist colonial history? Could it be the continuous interruption of this embodiment a gesture of resistance in colonialism and neoliberal capitalism context? How can one create an artistic-research-device that questions and resists the concept of “art-work” or “art-piece”?
