Maja Karolina Franke / Nina Dafert - Stand.Punkte

Rooted in the project Stand.Punkte that deals with verbal and physical communication, this residency focused on the basic condition to be able to speak, which is breath. How can we physically manipulate and control breath? How much pressure can the chest endure? How can we make the action of breathing and its manipulation visible and audible in a performance context? What can this show about power dynamics and where are its boundaries?
