Body cinema: On Tadeusz Kantor

I don’t think I’m able to speak out how much I admire the work by Tadeusz Kantor, an extraordinary visual artist and theater director.

Luckily enough, I found these days a short documentary on his work, as somewhat small visual introduction to the carrier of this theater genius. Because he was a sort of precede of performance art, I decided to include him into Body cinema, although his artworkz were of outer limits…

Stoll & Wachall duo enjoying visual kinetics

Interview with Jan Fabre: insects are the oldest computers

Jan Fabre is an example of a renaissance man… it’s hard to catch all fields of contemporary art he had influenced over the last three decades…

His performers are ‘true blue’ oriented towards ideas and processes he’s creating with them. It’s a mutual interaction above all, an interaction which creates new physical, emotional and mental spaces. The idea of kinetics or techniques makes no sense in his world, because his dancers are creating new laws of movements and physical comprehension. Sometimes, it even looks like Fabre is creating a glossary for understanding how the world is essentially built up.
