Choreographer Mette Ingvartsen seeks incandescence, contagion, and a circulation of energies and emotions as she continues to explore questions such as: Can you choose to open your body to contamination? What does interconnection mean? How can our emotions be collectively adjusted and navigated? How can we integrate the history of choreomanias into our bodies and contemporary contexts? As a group, can we deal with these intense states choreographically, non-theatrically, and even psychologically?
A 2004 graduate of P.A.R.T.S. herself, Mette Ingvartsen has developed an art form with a strong identity, deeply connected to the realities of the world. Invited to train Generation XIV at the school, the artist chose to work with the entire group, fully involving them in this research. It is a long-term endeavour that embraces choreography and performance, along with the challenges and turmoil of our times.
