_ Artist residency 4-12 August<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the \u0446\u0456\u043b\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u043a\u0430\u043c\u0456\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0457\u0431\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0442\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d exploration two key practices are invited to merge and marry. Kissing a rock is a process led, research based and manifested through performative action\/experimental theatrical play\/group happening\/video\/object practice. The act of \u201cKissing a Rock\u201d, featuring a symbolic stone figure, addresses the political nature of surfaces (bodies, objects, gestures). A rock as a change in a story, which setting varies, layering contexts while maintaining clear&consistent practice scenarios.\nKissing stones is explored compulsively, rawly, intuitively with a frame, co-created with a particular space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second entering point of the project drips from the lived experience of a sexuality related chronic pain condition. By including walking-cane-dildo-extention into the practice\/expressive sexuality it aims to contribute to the change of fascist perception rooted in the often excluding system fixation on ability. Seeking to dismantle the medicalization and pathologization of bodies in pain, offering a platform where discomfort is an acknowledged reality which co-exists with pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The methodology of tryout will invite both practices to find their shapes in the new space and create a new form quality. Kissing rocks, fucking walking canes, and everything what comes with that.\nDuring the residency a playground space will be created to be explored together during the days of practice sharing on 13-14.08.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
