Review: Fréttablaðið

“Body in progress” is part experiment, performance, and a practice in the making. It came from the desire of wanting to start anew and the search towards an empty body. It has been inspired by myths, different movements and meditation practices, the ‘Death Positive Movement’, The White Book, and others.

The performance explores the question “is it possible for the body to start anew; to empty it out of information and create something else?”. With the performance there will be transformations occurring, leaving one state for another; morphing, exploring, discovering. There is no end, no final product – it could be described as a breath, a pause, a death, a moment, a semi-colon.
