Meg Stuart:
I could say that for me all movement expresses desire. Not simply physical desire or the erotic or the material desire of wanting, owning or inhabiting something but the desire to make contact, to announce to expose oneself to the viewer and the other on stage. Consequently all movement also expresses and incorporates the missing, the failed communication, the censored and all conditions real or projected that block any action or connection from taking place. Often my choreographies are constructed from impossible tasks, such as the will to compress time, to rewrite one’s history, to live in many bodies at once, to fully experience the pain of another, to embrace emptiness, to show all perspectives of a complex situation in a single gesture. The choreography reveals the determination, the failure and the vulnerability of the attempt at the same time. I continually seek out collaborative situations. I like to create work in dialogue, and dance with others in a conceptual way. These meetings help you define yourself but also disrupt you, I enjoy the rupture, collaborating with others leads you to places you wouldn’t dare venture on your own.
