"My body is not owned by me. I am using it, I am perceiving the world with it. Complete perception in what ever ground is possible only through the fact of embodiment. If I would not be embodied I would not be able to read the world ' the world would be an amorphous unreadable mass of something indefinable. So, I am defining the world and myself in it via the body. Still, however essential my embodiment may be for my own existence, I am not the owner of my body. My body is repressed by protocols, architecture, space structures, other bodies, education, dance education, physical survival, economical survival, emotional survival, pain; and, at times my body is also repressed by its very self. If I am not the owner, that means that I am sharing it with some other instance, that some other instances too claim and execute the right to use my body: to navigate it, to count on it, to take my body into the responsibility. Choreographic practice then would be the place to zoom into this consideration: of reclaiming the body for limited space-time frame in order to own it fully again. And, also to encounter other bodies in this frame which are also temporarily reclaimed, so that (though still burdened by our social codes) we can eventually establish some other form of transfer to each other, some other quality of humanoid consideration, some other common ground, instead of one that is repressively inscribed in the outer world."
