The solo Body Parts is a result of a choreographic fascination with the face. The performance explores both its anatomy and physiology and its ability to evoke meaning, emotion and identity. Traditionally, the face is considered the interface of a human being’s psyche and its discourse is charged with romantic mythology. Meanwhile, it creates its own corporal practices, that partake in a strong exchange with other areas of culture and politics.
Where did contemporary dance’s obsession with the neutral face come from and what is this neutral face? What is the connection between the grotesque and female subjectivity? What does the common contemporary choreography of the face tell us about cultural oppression?
