Studio sharing: Forced Beauty

Performer and choreographer Nela Hustak Kornetová confronts our human fascination for depicted acts of violence in her new project Forced Beauty. 

The Forced Beauty project aims to create an atmospheric multimedia dance performance inspired by the display of violence in our daily life. With the body in focus, Kornetová and her company will look for movement material and primal voice expression corresponding with the theme while experimenting with live „special effects“, sound, light and video. The ambition is to research the impact of mirror neurons in the human brain on perception of the audience and so deal with their empathy.

Nela Hustak Kornetová has been in residency at DansiT for three weeks, and would now like to share her work with interested audience. After the showing, there will be an open discussion between the audience and the artists.

About the residency

Forced Beauty is supported by Norsk Kulturråd.
