choreographing ecocritical route

Choreo-dramaturging of AnthropoceneLecture  by Eylül Fidan Akıncı In conjunction with the screening, Akıncı will give a lecture to contextualize Eiko Otake's extended performance series as an artistic response in the aftermath of Fukushima disaster. What is the performance artists' task at the age of Anthropocene? As the public and scholarly conversations tackle the term “Anthropocene” and its propriety to name the geo-ecological epoch we are in, it becomes clear that we need critical and creative tools to retain sight of the planetwide commons of disasters.

Charlotte J Ward

Charlotte J Ward (@charlotte.jward) is an eco-somatic artist in service of Earth and Women. Born in 1992, to a British mother and a French father, respectively from Russian and Kabyle descent, Charlotte J Ward is currently based between Paris and the Dordogne. Coming from a predominantly documentary and portrait photography background, Ward graduated from the London College of Communication in 2014, with a Photography BA (Hons). In 2020, her practice took a new turn, as she delved into somatic movement explorations and menstrual cycle awareness. Ward began immersing herself into the practice of self-portraiture; placing her work at the crossroad between embodied movement, activism and fine art photography, with a particular interest in natural cycles, eco-somatics, and the intrinsic state of inter-being between the human and Earth bodies. Working with her own body as an instrument, Ward has been exploring these themes through her ongoing series ‘Moon Blood’ and ‘This Earth Body Is My Home’. Two bodies of works which explore the cyclical nature of Life from both a micro and macro perspective.

Somatic practices have moved beyond a field of sensorial, experiential and emancipatory learning into wider educational, therapeutic, artistic and social-justice contexts.
