WILD

Different bodies all out of their axis. No one and no body is falling or collapsing. This could defy gravity, and imagination. But imagine every body together. This is wild. WILD is a dance entangled with what happens to bodies, and to the work of dance, when one pays attention to the question of how to care. It interrogates how different bodies come to orient themselves in space and time when caring. In asking which orientations are shaped and performed when one turns towards something or someone, the work questions what is in between and beyond the vertical and horizontal orientations.

Clarissa Sacchelli

is an artist working in and on dance. She has been developing her projects moving between choreographic pieces, performances, publications and educational activities, whilst also working in collaboration with other artists. Her practice has been informed by the experience of living and working predominantly in the Latin-American context. She holds an MA in Dance from Trinity Laban (UK) and a postgraduate diploma in Semiotics from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (BR).

During her residency at K3, Clarissa proposes to explore the concept of care as a speculative choreographic practice. She is interested in what happens to the body and to dance when we pay attention to the question of how to care. Searching for bodies that defy gravity, neither vertical nor horizontal, that are leaning themselves to others in a vulnerable position. She will investigate how a practice based on being out of one’s own axis is capable of bringing people and other beings together in an interdependent relation.
