Piece#Peace

is research that goes in search of new peace rituals.

How can dance transform our present time into peace?

People should be encouraged to discover their own thoughts and feelings
in dance and thus to find a

peaceful coexistence, because dance has the power to bring us from
thinking to feeling. Now is the

time to develop new rituals that embody peace and to take those rituals
out into the open.

2022 seems to be a turning point in several respects. The war in Ukraine
and the effects it has on the

world give food for thought.

The famous metaphor of the butterfly flapping wings generating
repercussions on the other side of

the world is proving to be more relevant than ever. So what to do in the
face of impending upheaval?

Dance as a catalyst to unleash feelings within us can help provide
emotional support to a society that

has experienced so much fear and panic for the last two years and is now
facing other bitter

challenges.

In Wim Wenders' film "The Sky over Berlin", an actor asks himself the
question "Why isn't peace

permanent?" This sentence is the engine of my research and inspired me
to my project.

Isn't it our own thoughts and feelings that play a major role in our
view of life? As human beings,

have we lost access to our body, into the body, and ultimately to
experience something through the

body?

I am convinced that dance can create deep access to one's own feelings,
transform emotions and

have a strengthening effect in a shared experience.

The ritual I want to develop is a combination of emotions that acts as a
body-mind mechanism and

can be fun.
