no, but very close to the bone

The piece is a continuation of Suvi Kemppainen’s series of works (teething, 2021) on performers agency and rights in artistic processes, and how a person of love is always also a destroyer. These questions have inspired Kemppainen towards a movement practice that is informed by the ownership of the body and its bones – and also the letting go of this ownership. Who owns a dance that has been danced?

In Kemppainen’s work the psychopoetic body refers to a precisely choreographed, associative travel in the sphere of performance, deep into the psyche. The poetry of dance is also one of time and space.
