Don’t think; dance. Dance first, think later. That’s the secret of life. Let your body move without restraint, and your mind will follow. Dance first and think later. Dance with your eyes closed. Be the first one dancing and the last one thinking, because everything is perfect when you dance and think simultaneously. Rule No. 422 "Read at every wait; read at all hours; read within leisure; read in times of labor; read as one goes in; read as one goes out. The task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead." - Marcus Tullius Cicero Alexandra Pirici (RO, 1982, based in Bucharest) is an artist who uses choreography both for its economy of means and for its critical energy, as a means of questioning history, monuments and public memory. Re-collection is an ongoing, performative action, built around the notion of collecting, while subverting traditional understandings of the term. Real and fictional objects – works of art and forms of life – are transformed into embodied memories. Objects become movements, unlabelled, with no need for classification. The boundaries between these new objects – actions / gestures / moving sculptural forms – are porous and less defined such that we never quite know where each “object” begins and ends.

The second is to smile. Dance, do what you love. Think before you jump into something. Think about the future. Moreover, I think that the COVID-19 period was very “choreographic,” in the sense that we have never been so concerned about the way we move: we unlearned gestures that were natural and learned new ones; we questioned ourselves about compulsory or forbidden gestures and movements. In this way, we have caught up, without really being aware of it, with the questions and reflections that choreographers develop on the meaning and scope of a given gesture and movement, whether individual or collective. The impact of these reflections and of certain changes in behaviour will probably last for a long time. Dance first, think later, and dance last, but dance anyway. If you dance first, think later. You might never get to think at all.On the night of 11 December 2018, while my partner was lying on top of me and turning around on the axis of our sexual organs, the image of L’horloge de l’amour came to me. The image persisted to such a point that I felt it necessary to give it material form. On 20 June 2019, we carried out a 12-hour filmed performance behind closed doors, on a mattress of 2.32m in diameter, which served as the basis for L’horloge de l’amour.” Gregory Stauffer, Sitting, performance, in Dance First Think Later, 2020, Le Commun, Geneva.

The words and dance are important parts of a performance, but they shouldn’t take precedence over the steps. You were born to dance; you were born to move. Dance, first. Afterwards, think. You’ll be an old fool if you don’t. Xavier Le Roy, Self Unfinished en 105 captures d’écran, 2020, digital prints, in Dance First Think Later, 2020, Le Commun, Genève. Photo Annik Wetter.

She was awarded the prize of “Danseuse exceptionnelle” at the Prix suisse de la danse in 2019. Marinella Senatore’s art (IT, 1977, based in Rome) is that of a pure energy flowing from short-circuits between the different elements she gathers in a single (real or virtual) space. The artist’s role is to activate a mechanism for producing a transformative force from the convergence of the elements that enter it; a force then transmitted in the surrounding area until it reaches the audience.
