Light behind the light This short video captures a little moment but opens up a whole idea about lights behind lights as a concept for me as an interesting direction to research in the future.

Blink of an Eye I share a live composition practice that emerged from the idea of dance dramaturgy as film editing and inspired by a lecture of Guy Cools and the book of Walter Murch.

#screentime In this experimental composition, we were moving in the reflection of the screen-lights of our digital devices. The idea is about the materiality of online space; the light and it’s reflection on surfaces present in the real space; on our bodies.

You do not know where you are going A song of darkness over the gates of light. In the traditional stage space, without light, nothing of what is created can reach the retina of the eye. Light illuminates the fruits and the rot of the artist’s work. Sunlight, a light that does not enter the theatre box at all. Are the artist creatures of darkness….

What happened there? Dramaturgy. The connection of events in time and space. It fills the invisible with imagination. It is a designation of a set of events… What happened here? Where is dramaturgy going today? How to live in a time when the absurd becomes a narrative.

Dramaturgical trio The trio:
- the path of the chess match until this move
- the thinking of why this move is clever
- the constellation of the screen picture
How these three are adding up in a dramaturgical sense?

Circling mantra exercise In the Hungarian language there are certain consonant connections, which are pointing into a similar bush of meanings. In this exercise I used the pair of K+R, which is rooted in the motion and shape of circle. The inspiration came from a linguistics book, called “Bábel előtt” by Dénes Kiss.

Light Tower An element of my imagined peace: two collective members constantly guarding a position of rotating and surveilling the space back-to-back. I verbally narrate my vision while my colleagues illustrate one moment of this possible duet. The movement quality is inspired by daily contact-impro sessions we had this week led by Eszter Gál where we also spoke about attention and what it means to offer your back to one-another.

Light research 2015 The first light research I did with dancer Jefta Tanate and performance maker Nick Steur, finding the relation between light and time

Light from inside a tussle We started with light in close proximity to the body, seen from within and from outside. This is from within, perspectives of darkness are revealed by the light.

Urban Snakes We were on a walk with Natália to carry out our observations on phenomena beyond choreography. At one point, I was really struck by the movement of some ropes. They belonged to window cleaners working high above us. The only visible trace of their “invisible movement” was the ropes themselves — a kind of choreography, a dance of ropes. At one part I got

Collective Fantasies During the week, we explored the diagram, collective fantasies, and playful interactions with objects. A strong emphasis remained on understanding how group dynamics function and how decisions are made. We dreamed, yet were also grounded in the reality of where we are at this moment, finding unexpected pleasure in creating a video with the objects.

This book happened to be a "sharing practice" This book was an inspiration for a collective physical action. It presents political actions/political body in public spaces that were highly political in the 60s-90s in the Czech Republic.
