“Min Tanaka at the Yume-no-shima garbage dump” (1977)
diagrams of intensities
at the intersection of all the scenes of the possible
choreography of desire’s throw of the dice
on a continuous line since birth
becoming irreversible of rhythms and refrains of a
haiku-event
I dance not in the place but I dance the place
Min Tanaka
the body weather
~Guattari, excerpt from ‘Présentation du programme de danse Buto de Min Tanaka’ (AH 159).
Since Autumn 2011, the [collective] are embarking up a year-long performance process towards developing a series of performance works emerging out of our explorations into Running as an artistic practice. 'Walking as an artistic practice' is an established process within a wide variety of artistic disciplines, including performance. The [collective] are attempting to develop the movement, motion and process one step further - by using the process of running in the urban context as a practice to develop performance.
