Archiving the Body /
As a striking experiment in framing and the body, two Australian dancers, Leisa Prowd and Tim Crafti (Tsuki) create a playful homage to the work of iconic performance artist Marina Abramovic. This Berlin apartment ritual is in monochrome with splashes of colour, as the dancers explore their own bodies, masks and clothing, stills and multimedia. Archiving the Body traces the dancers’ bodies as they move through stillness to playfully taking up space and frantically, wrapping and unwrapping themselves.
