In the first two weeks of the year, Bushra Arbawi and Joana Cuiko have been working at CLOUD/danslab studio. We are looking forward to welcoming you on our first (online) presentation of 2021.

We are exploring our relations to interconnectivity, questioning who we are as a matter and how our surrounding re/shapes us.
How do we connect with each other?
Western culture raises us with an ideal of independent individuals that can choose to be who we want to be.

How do we approach this ideal of such a culture in an inherently interdependent environment? 

The walk is a continuous fall into a space that is held by gravity.

We are busy, trying to get under each other’s skin. Is this our craving for connection or our hunger for power and control? What do we try to control?

Ideologies and images that are created as we interact hold us in a web that is imagined and at the same time is real.
This web is visible in a dance.
What drives our connectedness? What connects us can separate us as well.

“Is there something behind these gossamer-threads?
What does the body in space teaches us about these mechanisms?
