own own body own


“own own body own” is a transdisciplinary project connecting visual arts and choreographic thinking, taking the psychological concept 'Body Ownership' as a starting point. Body Ownership comprises two aspects: belongingness and possession. This approach has directly translated into the questions that are the driving motivational force behind the project at hand: Am I a body? Do I have a body? And: How does this change with the environment I am interacting with?

Our collaborative process is situated in Medellín (Colombia) and Hamburg (Germany) in the understanding that Body Ownership is shaped by spaces and the experiences connected to them. Our research was guided by studio work, interventions in public spaces, workshops and interviews. Starting in January 2018, it finds its final expression in different formats: Three performances with Colombian and German dancers (September 2018), an exhibition, a publication and a workshop in Hamburg (2019).

Whom does my body belong to?
Who or what defines, moves, shapes the body that I am looking at?
 
With own own body own, the voice of a trans*woman meets the voice of a sergeant of the Colombian navy. A choreography of images and limbs floods the space. And my*your body can explore my*your edges in an immersive experience.
 
own own body own is an international production between visual art and choreography, developed in the cities of Medellin (COL) and Hamburg (GER). The project combines video, movement, space, speech and music, transforming the dance floor of the Mojo Club into a playground and laboratory. Kirstin Burckhardt and Brenda I. Steinecke Soto, together with a team of three performers, three interview partners, a filmmaker, a musician and a VJ explored the conflict inherent in the term 'Body Ownership': Does my body belong to me? Do I belong to my body?
