EXPLORING RECIPROCITY
Exploring Reciprocity is a long term project I started in 2019 within the Program Residenties in Utrecht (NL). It consist in a series of participative practices proposed to different communities.
Exploring Reciprocity is an invitation to practice and to reflect on reciprocity as a way to relate with others. The encounters are designed as choreographic scores with very simple indications for movement and conversation: to move and to be moved, to listen and to be listened, to touch and be touched, for example. The encounters are facilitated by me in collaboration with other artists from each community.
This project started in 2019 in a psychiatric institution in Den Dolder (NL). In that opportunity -and over 1 year- I invited the psychiatric clients, therapists and neighbours of that community to move together, on the same level. After that experience I have been sharing and further developing this project in other contexts, in NL and abroad. Texts, audio-practices and lecture-performance have emerged from this long term project
