Our practice will focus on developing our own presence, the process of becoming healthy, and the joy of movement. Aikido starts with oneself. With one’s own posture. “Standing properly and straightening up, reaching up and opening the chest, only then can you breathe properly.”, says Noboyuki Watanabe (8th Dan). The energy begins to flow. One’s own size and presence develops. The always newly created, open space, allows new possibilities in dealing with oneself and thereby the other.
Malika Fankha (CH/AT) studied theatre in Zurich, contemporary dance at SEAD (Salzburg) as well as the NYU Tisch School of Performing Arts (New York) and works internationally as a dancer, poet and DJ. Fankha is interested in diverting predictable narratives and carving out spaces for both precarious intimacy and campy melodrama. Their work unfolds structures and politics of desire by looking for softer weavings between sensation and sociality with the aim to build an obstinate yet malleable matrix of connections. www.malikafankha.com
