"Natural Drama" questions the concept of "nature" through the lens of contemporary environmental issues and from a historical and socio-political perspective, with all that implies for the body. It is a kind of futuristic mythology with its roots in dance traditions, both seen and hidden, preserved and lost.

This open discussion with Jules Gleeson, Krõõt Juurak and PARASOL participants Nadine Mathis and Yuwol June C. echoes ideas and questions that surround the creation process of SCHOOL, Juurak’s project with PARASOL.

With "SCHOOL", Krõõt Juurak focuses on the educational aspect of the PARASOL project where the given institutional setting and the performative research process are integral to the artistic result a.k.a. the performance.

Miriam Stoney’s installation "All along, the x-axis" at the Performance Passage is on view until 21 April. It features a graphic landscape of a possible autobiography, divided into seven light boxes. Categories of knowledge, experience and identification appear along an x-axis, perhaps representing something like "quality time" or some other variable through which life could be fitted into a narrative.

In this online talk, Joyraj Bhattacharjee will discuss the potential of developing movement practices from the perspective of a politically integrated art practitioner based in Howrah, India.

"Untitled (Holding Horizon)" is a choreography that continues Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ engagement with negotiations of desire, the materiality of gestures, and the affections of a queer commons. Through sensual, alienated gestures and the box step – a movement used in several social dances – synchronisation, pleasure, and alliance coexist with disorientation, limitation, and loss.

In the performative setting of "Untitled (Holding Horizon)", participants with or without prior knowledge can immerse themselves directly into the universe of Alex Baczyński-Jenkins in the form of a 90-minute workshop.
