Ewa Dziarnowska

Ewa Dziarnowska and Leah Marojević, both dressed in blue, unfurl wave-like gestures in the space. Solo or in unison, they move around the stage in silent contact. The proximity of their bodies cuts through the audience’s passivity: gaze turns into movement, and movement a way of being seen—a reciprocity which overturns classical performance. Both choreographer and performer, Ewa Dziarnowska’s interest is in improvisation as both method and philosophy. By paying attention to sensations, rhythm and relationships, she explores how movement can generate knowledge and resist against the pressures of coherence and productivity. Carried along by the present and a growing emotional charge, This resting, patience views sensuality and dance as practices open to all. Indeed, they are sensory-based technologies capable of unravelling the world and projecting a continuous present in the direction of a sustainable future—of an intensely tender, vibrant and attentive kind.
