Praxis – oddech jako oznaka naskórkowości

Abstract

The art of breathing connects us with the artefact in question, exchanging information between the inner and outer world with no glamorisation, since humanness forms part of it. Therefore the syntax of things re-arranges itself in free association with memory, in silent mode, working on the first impression triggered, thus shaping our experience. As we comprehend the world through all our senses in collaboration in order to interact, memory plays a significant role in expressing and communicating what lies in-between; The body remembers things that we can barely explain, on a kinaesthetic level and on the level of communication and expression as well. The term Hautlichkeit in this sense could suggest the significant importance of creating a new vocabulary that we may use in embodied performance connecting choreography, haptics and transdisciplinary art, as sweat and human touch is still necessary there, when in all other artforms sweat and touch seems to be an in-context subject and not the natural tool within which we achieve communication.
