SOTA 2017 / Body in museum spaces
Sota 2017 focuses on the phenomenon of body and corporeality as a space for dialogue in various social and artistic practices.
We were interested in how the knowledge accumulated in the dance field can be useful and interesting not only to the professional community, but to any person who lives and acts in this world, inevitably interacting with others through his own body.
The objectives of the program: to comprehend the field of knowledge that dance accumulated on its territory → build links with other areas of theoretical and artistic practices → explore the possibilities of fixing and transmitting this information through an artistic gesture.
