Clarinde Michaela explores how moving in and through the world creates the potential for individual and collective bodies to connect with one another.
This manifests itself across events, exhibitions, images, performances, publications, diagrams, talks, texts, and workshops.
Starting from the proposition that knowing takes place through bodily movement,
Clarinde Michaela’s work is a disruption, a call to shatter the systems that dictate our perceptions, temporal experiences and bodies.
At the same time, it is a coming and bringing together.
As a (social) choreographer, dancer, and visual artist, her work orbits around interconnectedness and inquires into it as a lived experience.
By invoking how reciprocity shapes reality, her work moves beyond anthropocentric boundaries, questioning entrenched separations between mind and body and humans, machine and nature.
With a body that has learned to attune itself to the unpredictability of external forces, Clarinde’s work beckons us to dismantle the dominance of control and embrace a world where connection is a constant presence.
