ZERO PLUSZ ACADEMY, BUDAPEST 

 

I have been part of this dance studio for 8months learning 5days a week dance classes such as Ballet, Martha Graham, Afro, Floorwork,  Skinners Release, Contemporary as well as Somatics and Pilates. This constant training has improved my awareness in movement, improved my  technical capabilities, and allowed me to start using movement consciously in my creations which once a month we had the opportunity to show our work in progress.

​

In the time part of this studio I have found a lot of creative freedom in writing short stories and later try to develop them as performances. Everyday used as well to walk to the studio allowing my duties as visual artist to expand by taking feelings of what was happening in the street to the studio. Working in a group as well has been very vital and giving feedback to the others. During this training I had to as well accept that I am quite a slow learner and have difficulties in coordination of movement especially when there is set choreography and often get lost in the steps.

​

Using my skills as well as a photographer I have created a small project called 'Destroy the Studio' using whatever props has been found in the studio and creating still images out of movement with others whilst playing loud music and enjoying being in the company of others and improvising. 

​

Below is some of my diary extracts from my walks in the city before going to the stdio.

​

i flew to budapest

under a bright full bodied moon

and around one tiny little star

on the plane i made a promise to the galaxies

i knew that my teacher is

going to be the ballet one

and that we need to

become friends

we need to make more space for movement

continuously

space

​

foetal pose is the homeless pose i see crunching up every morning in safety

coins are continuously being counted

is the studio a fairy tale

​

something about the bridge

the bridge as my political space

people cross barefoot

people cross in heels

people cross in trainers

people cross in high brands people cross in charity soles

but the all crossing

but they all moving

in different places

at different paces

for different reasons

​

sore muscles

disturbed body

occupied mind

confused functionality

through all this different

breathing methods

and invisible working muscles

doing the minimalist

protests under

all abused layers of my skin

the interior of this body

is designing a new landscape

the one u can only feel

the one u will never see
