Description
Invited public lecture as Erasmus Visiting Scholar at University of Malta. Lecture "Excessive Bodies and Choreographic Practice" presented as part of the university's 'Performing Arts Encounters Public Lecture Series'.In this presentation Conibere will introduce her recent live work Carareretetatakakekerers (2021) and video portraits Holding-Still-Holding-Still-Holding- (2024) as part ongoing research that asks through what terms and conditions some bodies are considered to have exceeded themselves. To have asked for too much space or time or support. This project responds to a context of austerity and the celebration of self-reliance in popular Western political discourse in recent years, and instead asks what unique knowledges are produced when we embrace the ways in which people require interdependence, affect others and take up space. From contagious laughter to structures of care, it asks what futures or relationships can be imagined when we work from these connections.
