Sinuosity: the muse
> dance performance at Museum of Image and Sound in São Paulo, BR
Sinuosity: the muse was created for the Museum of Image and Sound in São Paulo in the frame of the program Dança no MIS 2018, curated by Natalia Mallo.
Sinuosity: the muse is a body-sculpture in motion in a labyrinth of ecstasy, embodiment and idealization. The point of departure for this work is the solo after sinuous curves - an experience of materiality of a body-sculpture in motion. At MIS - SP, the performance was transformed to co-create the gallery space in collaboration with the exhibition “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: homage to photographic masters”, where American photographer Sandro Miller recreates iconic images working with one model only: the actor John Malkovich. His muse.
Sinuosity: the muse became a process of shifting between choreographic expansions of live-model work, the embodiment of ecstatic muses and of Miller’s photographic works. There was no distiction between the spaces occupied by the performer and spectators, what welcomed porosity and contingency into the work. Cameras as extensions of spectators’ bodies created other layers of performativity.
