About the performance
In Teja Modrijan's dance debut "The Body's Choice", the artist sketches into her body the experiences of her artistic journey so far, where the hip-hopper's mastery of the body's external image meets contemporary dance improvisation and the exploration of intracorporeal intensities and muscle impulses. In this work, Modrijan continues the development of the specific stage presence she developed in her award-winning 2019 dance miniature "Wisdom of the Body", in which she observes herself from the outside while performing a dance, and from this "directorial" position, she kneads the stage image through vibrant improvised movement.
The female role is rendered on a membrane between the performer's body and the audience for whom the role is performed. In the tension between the moving body, the performer's subjectivity and the role projected onto her by society, a re-examination of gender is raised. According to Judith Butler, gender is not an essential category, but both a performative action and an externally projected image. This also underlines the position of the spectators, who sustain the regime of spectatorship and thus the hierarchy of gender roles.
