Ingrid Berger Myhre: Current (excerpt)
“When we start to do, we start to eliminate. We narrow down the possibilities, we limit the initial potential. And yet, it is only when doing something - anything - that new potentials are born. We cancel out options, but create the ground for new ones.”
Ingrid Berger Myhre presents an excerpt of her performance Current. Text and language are central elements in her works, and often used in order to describe a scenario that could very well happen, but does not, because it is described instead. Speaking prevents the situation from actually occuring, but also allows it to exist by suggesting it to our imagination. What is refused appears at the same time - suspended in language.
Ingrid graduated this summer from ex.e.r.ce MA choreography research and performance at Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier.
