Feminist approach: transboundary, embodied planetary,a kind of planetary love

F-art acts: by worlding diverse situated knowledges, re-imagining intersectionality of conditions, seeing in other aspects, breathing with, practicing feathership, conducting diverse standpoints, shifting weights

somatic guide to ethical imagination, respiratory planetary thinking in a variety of expressions within diverse socio-political contexts, practicing linguistic hospitality and the happiness of translation. (Riccoeur, Latour)

Understanding the term planetarity as an ongoing process of creating, articulating, and translating conditions for being and being with and within, which strives to transcend identity-based divisions and geopolitical boundaries in response to existing social relations.

Embodied planetary love (Spivak, Haraway, Irigaray)

s a mind-changing love: 

a love that embodies justice, speaks from a subject position which is mindful of the intersectionality of gender, race, class, ethnicity, … 

Planetarity invites us to address a more complex topology without limiting our imagination in the realm of geographical-legal border, local or global. 

State of the Arts

My first encounter with Feminist thought 1st wave was by meeting my dear friend French feminist and writer Ms. Benoite Groult.

Learning from Benoite about necessity to be aware of the position of women in history, to not take all opportunities, but also not all struggles, and challenges, for granted, viewing critically diverse conditions, "sweeting with salt"

learning from Postcolonial theorists, such as Luce Irigaray, Seyla Benhabib, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Homi Bhabha, and artist who provided strong women voices and roles even before "official appearence" of the feminism in arts such as Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Georgia O’Keeffe,  exploring hybridity of cultures and identities, discovering the “third space” in art as a space of exile, re-contrstruction and de-construction of conditions, realities, and contexts,

speaking with Subaltern, shaping critical perception on the mainstream European epistemologies and the construction of “truth” by diverse and even controversial Feminist approaches,

I could situate my feminist identity while practicing  planetary love  with Luce Irigaray, and G. C. Spivak,  shifting weights among diverse standpoints deriving from diverse situated knowledges with Dona Haraway,  guided by imaginative attempts,  …, breathing with the world  (Irigaray)..

 with soma technics grounded in bodily movement, drawings, photography and imagery,  shifting weights among diverse standpoints deriving from diverse situated knowledges with Dona Haraway,  guided by planetary breathings with Luce Irigaray,  and spiral breathings, deep stretches, and falls shaped by Martha Graham, while releasing in translation by reading Jacques Derrida, Jumpa Lahiri,  Paul Ricoeur, Michel Foucault …, keeping on move among and with diverse actors and networks ...

´Staying with a trouble, but not in a struggle´

Some long-term simple gifts &magic tips:

Art-based translation of complex cognitive advantages into simple sample (by creation of assemblages, collages, linguistic landscapes), transformation of challenging technical exercises into simple bodily movements, transcription of the highly tensed emotional state into assertive communication and narrative expression.

Dance arts, fine arts, sociology

Writings, installations, choreographic compositions on: Identity politics, mega-trends &lifestyles, rights and rules … by keeping gender glasses on, introducing simple daily rituals and movement for wellbeing, self-esteem, body-integrity, from kindergarten to academia, diplomatic conferences...

Spaceing: Formats and Places

Intalk Sessions, a series of conversations, #planetarytalks on ZOOM, Skype, 30 min.C&DofK (Cuppes and Drops of Knowledge) in-outdoor multilingual movement&talks in Galleries, Museums, Universities, Schools and also in Kindergartens, …

Art practice illuminates emotional and spiritual state, enables and stimulates cognitive process and re-generates knowledge by new findings, softens body and voice, by strengthening the spirit and mind.

Dance movement-based art workshops and performance lectures are composed as a bound of acts on three stages as following: guided movement&speech meditation, Federführung^improvisation in flow and the L-assemblage, the final stage consisting of the variety of individual expressions and responses within one frame created for further individual and collective practices- knowledge to action, with an open-end perspective

The guided movement-speech sequences are grounded in modern dance (Graham-based) and Austrian Ausdruckstanz (Bodenwieser-school), with link to holistic practices such as yoga (pranayama), ritual dances (circle dances deriving from mythology).
