Part ghostly repository of unconsumed sensuality, an installative kinetic fadeout, part somatic (strip)tease, “This resting, patience” addresses attraction, voluntary objectification, proximity and the aesthetics of bareness. Employing an experimental format, it upsets the passivity of installation and the time-delineation and dramaturgical resolution of performance and steps away from the tradition of viewing dance as an alienated spectacle to instead emphasize its immanent sociability. In its devotion to the body, “This resting, patience” proposes sensuousness and dancing as timeless and democratically available technologies of undoing the world and projecting the continuous present into a future that lasts, quintessentially tender, infatuated, attentive.

Ewa Dziarnowska is a Berlin-based dancer and choreographer who works internationally. Her works - including “This resting, patience”, “A Room With a Better View” and the online archive project “https://4677684728466.com” - explore improvisation and embodied knowledge as an alternative to rationality and linear thinking. With poetic sensuality and precise movement practice, she questions bourgeois theatre conventions and the logic of the entertainment industry. Her works have been shown at Sophiensaele, Tanzquartier Wien and the Santarcangelo Festival, among others.
