About this exposition

In this artistic project I explore the concept of transformation - specifically the transformations that take place between the human and the animal. It is assumed that both play and dance improvisation trigger novel sense-making capabilities by a deep engagement with the environment (Paolo, 2007). Both activities give rise to transformative forces, ways of becoming that create openings and passages through which one re-engages and re-connects with the environment. In the first phase of this artistic project I recorded a spontaneous play event of my 12th year old daughter . Her play serves as an entrance point to examine animal becomings as transformative forces. In the second phase I re-enact the animal becomings of my daughter through an improvised dance solo. The aim is to grasp, in a corporeal sense, the transformative forces that are at work here.
