THE SLUT PROJECT + witch dancing



The Slut Project is the second part of BRAVO TOGAs artistic research and slut-shaming triology.

THE SLUT PROJECT research became both a work-in-progress performance at the residency-program HAUT EKSIL in Copenhagen and the workshop and practice WITCH-DANCING.


WITCH-DANCING
“Witch-dancing” is a practice created during the research for The Slut Project as a movement research.  Our thoughts upon witch-dancing were published in the publication ENTROPA’s issue “grænser” and practiced at their releasparty.

Moving or dancing in total darkness by yourself in a space shared with your fellow participants, this practice explores moving without any external gazes. Dancing without taking responsibility for ones movements and exploring a state of boundlessness and trance.
Bravo Toga invites every participant to freely and with all ones preconceptions, deisres, imagination -  and even biases - relate and connect to ones inner witch and witchcraft. To us witchcraft are sacred, feminine knowledge - from time to time - highly misunderstood and mistreated as something else. Feel free to acknowledge you own personal witch-persona and dance like your own free witch.

      Horluvan är röd. Horluvan vill säga dig nånting. Horluvan på en random marknadsplats under medeltiden gallskriker
      “HÄR HAR VI EN HORA”. Den skriker lika högt som en våldtäkt i festivalhavet, som ett övergrepp på nätet, som horstämpeln i grundskolan.
