A manifesto for the mature female body! A physical sensory human encounter of bodies and hearts between mature women from Vysočina and Israel.

 

I'm Here is a multi-cultural movement project that took place during one year through live encounters at a castle in Žďár nad Sázavou and zoom meetings, connecting women from the Czech Vysočina region and from Israel. It was first presented in KoresponDance Festival 2022, and in a second version at Prague Quadrennial 2023.   

 

The performative process evolved out of workshop materials based on choreographer Galit Liss' methodology – Gila language - developed for working with the mature body through an exploration of its unique physiological aesthetics. 

 

Sharing personal stories through movement, the performance dealt with presence and identity of the feminine ageing body in the public sphere. It created an intimate encounter that enabled the audience to actively participate in the experience through a kinesthetic observation of the bodies moving in space 

 

I'm Here was created in collaboration with SE.S.TA – Centre for Choreographic Development and realizes Galit Liss' manifesto act for the female maturing body and its visibility in the world.
