Taking as a starting point the dissident corporealities that have emerged in the last fifty years in Western contemporary experimental dance; the project involves aesthetic, philosophical and socio-political perspectives, carried out on choreographic, performative, textual, audiovisual, curatorial and discursive media. This documented artistic research project (Doctoral Thesis) consists of three inter-related parts: first it invites the reader to see the performance&#8217;s video \u00abECLIPSE: MUNDO\u00bb. Afterwards, the reader is invited to read the book \u00abTo Dance in the Age of No-Future\u00bb and get a context regarding the rest of the audiovisual materials located on the same website. The exposed materials are displayed as an \u201cessay written form\u201d understood in the Spanish or French sense of the Latin word \u00abensayo \/ r\u00e9p\u00e9tition\u00bb and its associated meanings such as try-out, rehearsal, practice, study, preparation and experimentation. To this end, the materials show an ongoing migration of concepts, practices and tools, through analogous forms, equivalences and contrasts that invite to see this project&#8217;s genealogies and continuous iterations in formats such as video, testimonies, audios, scores, tool descriptions and images. Accordingly, it is the reader who \u2013by viewing, listening to and reading these materials\u2013 can trace the diverse kinetic, political, aesthetic, discursive and conceptual layers linked to the practices and presentation formats specific to this doctoral research project since its beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late capitalism dance&#8217;s commitment with the future (or its lack thereof) must find alliances with potentiality and nothingness. This is not a nihilistic affirmation, but an attempt to enable an interval: a dance whose value has to be apprehended there, where it is already happening. Kafka said that \u00abone might have a goal, but not a pathway\u00bb. The pathway involves a decisive cognition such that cannot be carried out without one becoming the path itself; without defying so to speak, the relationship of the dancer with dance itself. It is not about what the dancer can do, say or communicate in respect to dance, but what dance accounts for in itself. In modern&#8217;s kinetic exhaustion, the latter is possible approaching dance as a presence-in-crisis. The semantic field of the word \u00abcrisis\u00bb and its associated words, \u2013critical judgment, decision and separation\u2013, defines the moment when something or someone has somehow one foot outside. The moment when one realizes that it is not the world that ends, but the linguistic constructions and the reality systems that had made sense until then. This proposal tries to embody that gap. It tries to reveal the somatic, kinetic, political and aesthetic implications whereby to dance on a limit that is both inaugural and terminal. Decisive. Although \u201cdeciding\u201d will always be not knowing what will happen. It is a dance that, although it does not seem to mean anything, it does something. The moment at which dance let&#8217;s go of being a product (a goal), to become a deposition. \u00abDeposition\u00bb is a word that includes both, an abandonment and a position. At the same time, to take on a position implies a becoming: the (path)way through which the dancer coincides with dance&#8217;s conditions. The moment at which the dancer abandons any intention to communicate, to propose or to interpret dance, to carry out kinetically and perceptually the non-significant, ephemeral, ineffable and impersonal conditions that dance implies as a presence-in-crisis. In short, the coincidence \u201cdancer : dance\u201d implies taking into account an experience of dance freedom that is fugitive. In the theatre apparatus it involves a dancing which \u2015by lacking recognizable aims, signs and subjects\u2015 gives way to an aesthetic paradigm which is not be construed as a particular kind of thing (a performance, a type of dancer, a subject, or even a social or artistic process), but rather as a gap&#8217;s embodied experimentation. A threshold, a curve. A parenthesis. An eclipse. A void: the encounter with something which doesn&#8217;t need to be produced, because it is already happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchcatalogue.net\/profile\/show-exposition?exposition=727172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En el capitalismo tard\u00edo, el compromiso de la danza con el futuro (o la falta del mismo) debe encontrar alianzas con la potencialidad y la nada. No se trata de una afirmaci\u00f3n nihilista, sino de un intento de habilitar un intervalo: una danza cuyo valor debe aprehenderse all\u00ed, donde ya est\u00e1 sucediendo. Kafka dijo que \u00abuno puede tener una meta, pero no un camino\u00bb. El camino implica una cognici\u00f3n decisiva tal que no puede llevarse a cabo sin convertirse uno mismo en el camino; sin desafiar, por as\u00ed decirlo, la relaci\u00f3n del bailar\u00edn con la danza misma. No se trata de lo que el bailar\u00edn puede hacer, decir o comunicar con respecto a la danza, sino de lo que la danza representa en s\u00ed misma. En el agotamiento cin\u00e9tico de lo moderno, esto \u00faltimo es posible al abordar la danza como una presencia en crisis. El campo sem\u00e1ntico de la palabra \u00abcrisis\u00bb y sus palabras asociadas \u2014juicio cr\u00edtico, decisi\u00f3n y separaci\u00f3n\u2014 define el momento en que algo o alguien tiene, de alguna manera, un pie fuera. El momento en que uno se da cuenta de que no es el mundo el que se acaba, sino las construcciones ling\u00fc\u00edsticas y los sistemas de realidad que hasta entonces ten\u00edan sentido. Esta propuesta intenta plasmar esa brecha. Intenta revelar las implicaciones som\u00e1ticas, cin\u00e9ticas, pol\u00edticas y est\u00e9ticas por las que bailar en un l\u00edmite que es a la vez inaugural y terminal. Decisivo. Aunque \u00abdecidir\u00bb siempre ser\u00e1 no saber lo que va a pasar. Es una danza que, aunque no parece significar nada, hace algo. El momento en el que la danza deja de ser un producto (un objetivo), convertirse en una deposici\u00f3n. \u00abDeposici\u00f3n\u00bb es una palabra que incluye tanto un abandono como una posici\u00f3n. Al mismo tiempo, adoptar una posici\u00f3n implica un devenir: el camino a trav\u00e9s del cual el bailar\u00edn coincide con las condiciones de la danza. El momento en el que el bailar\u00edn abandona cualquier intenci\u00f3n de comunicar, proponer o interpretar la danza, para llevar a cabo cin\u00e9tica y perceptivamente las condiciones insignificantes, ef\u00edmeras, inefables e impersonales que la danza implica como presencia en crisis. En resumen, la coincidencia \u00abbailar\u00edn : danza\u00bb implica tener en cuenta una experiencia de libertad de danza que es fugitiva. En el aparato teatral, implica una danza que, al carecer de objetivos, signos y sujetos reconocibles, da paso a un paradigma est\u00e9tico que no debe interpretarse como un tipo de cosa en particular (una actuaci\u00f3n, un tipo de bailar\u00edn, un sujeto o incluso un proceso social o art\u00edstico), sino m\u00e1s bien como la experimentaci\u00f3n encarnada de una brecha. Un umbral, una curva. Un par\u00e9ntesis. Un eclipse. Un vac\u00edo: el encuentro con algo que no necesita ser producido, porque ya est\u00e1 sucediendo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A subaltern pathway.
