artist statement - nicoletta cappello (FOUNDER)

I am interested in processual forms and in working at the interface between different artistic disciplines as well as studying the common ground between Movement-based Performing Arts, Everyday Life and Decolonial Pedagogy.

 

My artistic practice interrogates how to reposition the role of audience/learner's bodily creativity at the center of performance event through active movement-based participation.

 

I research in creating performative formats that serve as pedagogical spaces where audience/learner's imagination can meet their bodies at a deeper and expanded level, as a door, a playground, a map, a spaceship to step through into submerged realities.

​

I am attracted by poetics of transformation, the fact of becoming something else and transcending.

I love playing to infect reality with the super / powers of performance.

 

I believe in bodily imagination as a powerful tool in order to learn from others - humans and non-humans-, in order to resist politics of sublimations and extraction, and co-create sustainable futures.
