Our ideas do not operate by establishing skeletons, so we expand our bodies into an octopus-like form. Our limbs are many suckers that we use to grasp substratum, catch prey and move from place to place, embracing non-linear locomotion. We chose each other differently than it was asked. We share resources horizontally. We are many vaginas, many phalluses and many rectums, or maybe even more?<br \/>\nHow do we choreograph awareness? What is the process of thinking, feeling, sensing, and knowing? What is the embodied knowledge? Where does it arise from and how this knowledge meet other bodies? What leads us to the process of empowerment? How do we empower ourselves and each other in our art making practices?<br \/>\nThis encounter investigates different ways of generating knowledge, one that comes out from mutual affection and trust. When we think\/say\/dance knowledge &#8211; we are looking for the one passing through various bodies and mediums, protocols and (hacking) strategies of its own creation. This knowledge is longing for participation\/engagement rather than explanation. We come together as a collective, yet we support individuality. We choreograph\/shape our limits as waves and we surf them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This performative lecture led by Maque Pereyra, Pauline Payen, Vala T. Foltyn\u00a0was programmed as a panel titled Strategies of Empowerment \/ The Force of Dance, at Inventur #2 \u2013 Contemporary Dance &amp; Performance international conference, May 2017 in Dusseldorf. This time the four artists will meet again and share their practices in the frame of VULVA CLUB in Berlin. The ongoing process of sharing the knowledge among those four artists will shapeshift the current form of this encounter, into which we invite you to witness, feel and experience with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1212\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulinepayen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/28661040_2254141458143109_1420593963120728864_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.paulinepayen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/28661040_2254141458143109_1420593963120728864_n.jpg 960w, http:\/\/www.paulinepayen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/28661040_2254141458143109_1420593963120728864_n-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.paulinepayen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/28661040_2254141458143109_1420593963120728864_n-768x511.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.paulinepayen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/28661040_2254141458143109_1420593963120728864_n-220x146.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FEMALE TROUBLE presents :\u00a0VULVA CLUB #17 &#8211; octopuss_y with Maque Pereyra, Pauline Payen, Vala T.
