The Minor Gesture
Erin Manning
A consideration of gender performativity in order to think about the relationship between linguistic and performance studies, locating the body as the interface for both the speech act and embodied performance.
Butler examines the role of “gesture” in relation to language and performance by focusing on Walter Benjamin’s reading of epic theater in Brecht.
When Gesture Becomes Event
Performance therefore involves a form of alienation, and gesture—where language and performance intersect—can potentially become an allegory of the decomposition of the speech act.
Echoing her well-known arguments that “performance” must replace “essence” as a way to understand the development of gendered identities,
Judith Butler
MOE SATT
A visual and performance artist who uses his body to explore identity, embodiment, and political resistance, Satt engages with history through a conceptual artistic perspective. He conceptualizes one’s anatomy as the most faithful representation of self knowledge - and his hand gestures particularly stand out as an exemplification of nonverbal bodily communication. Bodies can interact and be interpreted, and each body is defined by one’s own exclusive ownership over it. Satt’s works draw from the social-political turbulences of Myanmar and wrestle with oppression and censorship with commentary on the recent upheavals in Myanmar,
Bill T. Jones
“The Breathing Show,” moving from the smallest possible articulations of the neck through limber shoulder and hip rotations, taut balances in extension and finally gestural statements This solo is later deconstructed into 5 seperate phrases and danced while Jones minutely describes what he’s doing--and then performed again with Jones intuitively verbalizing all the thoughts, images and fantasies entering his mind. " You build a foundation with questions—How do I express the conflicted feelings I have right now? How do I find the language?"
The Project
A performance that incorporates text, movement, and audience-interaction to explore relationships to others and the self - the internal world along side the social conditioning Through radical love and exploring generational traumas with shared experience, decolonizing our inherently political bodies through this archival process Potentially using a visual element such as paint to embody the effects of emotions/feelings on the body
The Performance
A practitcal exploration of body lanagauge which I will log and develop into a language for my own. - understanding breath and beats, noting anxietites or discomforts and allowing myself to move. - exploring with the ways my body naturally wishes to flow, incorporating this into my gestures - observing how other people speak their body lanaguge and interviewing based on experiences
