Natasha Fowler on Reclamation Projects Artcountability

If you'd like to see the work we’re talking about today here's: Reclamation projects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZKnFMT1foY&list=PLQ4168_tpVP2xSKuA6SnGYz3bOCfy-1wq&index=1

Notes from Hasnaa: 


Broadening the definitions of dance and performance. We join in in an intimate moment of bodily expression freed from resistance, oppression and cultural expectations. In this work Natasha Fowler shares with us the joy of meeting her body open-armed. A moment of genuine unpretentious love and healing past the pain of not been seen. 
"Trauma resides in the body, dance is one way to it." HF. 
"It is not about the dancer, or the dance itself, but the creation of the space for the dance to happen." Katie Duck. 

Notes from Natasha: 


Transgressions, where the line is for different bodies. Liberation from...you’re always moving from your own rigidities, the places where you were restricted by your experiences. 
Teaching/learning with people who can give you space to learn what you need, where you can protect the shape of what you need to learn instead of just imitating and embodying a new institution of knowledge. 
Nostalgia. Wanting to return to another state of being, longings and laments. The complexity of nostalgia for memories of people you were reliant upon but disconnected from. Music and nostalgia. 
The controversy of movement and expression, the possibility of natural independence. Overcoming rigidity (body and mind) and also practising awkwardness and unacceptable body. 

Thoughts on what we do/don’t say… 

H: This friendship is one of the rare places, where I can say “I do not know Don McLean “and be taken seriously. There is no expectation of me mastering western culture nor does Natasha allow it to tell her anything about my worth. To be relieved of “lying to connect”, particularly on random accumulated knowledge of pop culture, brings peace and a level of relaxation to my body where I start talking (a lot) and surprise myself at the amount of words in me. Natasha is a generous listener and I want to thank her for that, once you will listen to this interview you will understand what I am talking about. Or Not. 

N: I know little of what the teachers I speak of and the students I learned with really think, feel and know. I talk of what I see, what I experience, of what meaning it has to me. I trust that the complexity of me and everyone else is rather bigger than these observations.
