#BrestPracticesInContemporaryDance (#BestPractices)
A queer form of conversation between technologies & bodies
An emergent dialogue


Framework statement
After two year of research/practice/enthusiasm, #bestPractices is an interdisciplinary project of dance and technology and becomes an option to be a discipline in itself, attempting to reclaim the virtual body which we lost, or indeed we were not born with. The body refuses singularity and the taxonomical form given by heteronormativity & social conventions. An exercise of self-dissociation & post-humanism. Hyperrealities, multiplicity, the error, The Glitch! is embraced as an act of non-performativity, non-binary gender. In pro of a new audiovisual body.
While it entails a performative aspect, the project is not intended to produce “a” performance; the #practice and its processes are intended as an entangled autonomous outcome. An ontological emergence; dependent on, autonomous from. An attempt to distance the project from anthropomorphism & anthropocentrism. The objective is to create a fluid conversation where tools and bodies blend (or separate), challenging assumptions - encouraging curiosity & speculative realities.
This new audiovisual body is a transhuman yet fragile experience of ourselves. There is a fragility that bodies may be distorted by code or network interruptions. We embrace, embody, and share this fragility as an act of common healing. There is fragility & vulnerability in the uncertain.
In times where power & dominance structures of knowledge are being questioned, #bestPractices proposes sharing a common space for not knowing, practicing resilience in times of uncertainty.
