Performing Animalities – A Praxis is a dance-oriented study, open rehearsal, and a performance, which moves across notions of human and animal, bringing them closer to each other. It is a bodily event composed of touch, movement, sounds and words of two performers – an invitation to interspecies dialogue. What will take place, when one ceases to define “human” as something that separates us from other animals? When instead we turn to animality as a fundamental part of being and recognize our belonging in the animal kingdom – one species in a spectrum of many. How can other kinds of animalities emerge from and inhabit the performing body?
