This Is The Real Thing

Anna Nowicka

Over the course of a playful performance between visual significations and possible relationships, the dancer creates and reconstructs her own environment in this solo performance. Her body shimmers and changes itself, remaining within the process of a constant event. A variety of qualities, situations, intentions, forms and activities are indicated and are presented, but none become a permanent visual object. The body of the solo performer becomes an unending hypertext which continuously brings about new associations.
