How Long Does It Take Before I Get Tired  blank space at CIRKLABO (work in progress).

In this stage of the project I am going to investigate and work with exhaustion of more physical aspect.
Where our bodies can go? What are the limits and 'how long does it take before we get tired?' 


It is a proposal for a project that with its structure would enable establishing a relation between artists, old circus equipment, and society. To be able to shift feelings and leadership further on the stage. Design playful way of finding out our limits ─ when do we get ENOUGH?

The idea partially emerges from old circus equipment* that suffered from the leak in the circus hall at AFUK (Akademiet for Utæmmet Kreativitet) in Copenhagen, Denmark. Many ropes and trapezes were discharged from use due to the accident. To explore what purpose has our body after it is being fatigued and carried on for too long - due to age, different practices, it's limitation.

This brought to attention the durability aspect of both objects and bodies. If there are things in common? When do we have ENOUGH.

Further during the residency with Iara Gueller - that was a series of online meetings between 4 artists to develop exercises and practices for the creation process of performance - emerged an idea of using the old equipment partially as a sceongraphy with a possibility of transforming it on stage into a tool. Give it a new purpose. To work with characteristics of the equipment and qualities underdetermination. In a similar way as if you would ask yourself when feeling fatigue “what are my qualities underdetermination, what should I do now/next?”
Is there a purpose after purpose?

The project is structured by frames to find its shapes, where I want to develop and outline ideas that are coming along the process. Work with openness, so the ideas can still be balanced or alternated.

An open invitation for people from different backgrounds, age groups and gender - to find unique relations that would work with kinesthetic empathy between artist and observers by searching limits and describing their bodies. ***
