Self Help | PANOPTICON Jersey City


  • Jersey City Theatre Center Barrow Street Jersey City, NJ, 07302 United States (map)

Self Help by mignolo dance explores mental health through the lens of a relationship between a therapist and patient using Movenglish® – a movement language in progress that directly corresponds to English. The translation of spoken conversations is complemented by fragmented and deconstructed phrases that represent what happens between the lines and inside the mind, embodying a ceaseless yet hopeful striving toward balance between thought and feeling, mind and body, self and other. @mignolodance

PANOPTICON by Vasiliki Papapostolou (a.k.a Tarantism) explores concepts of surveillance, discipline, and punishment. While the red hands of the performer are the ruler, the body represents the human spirit, the constant fight to preserve the human instinct and individual mind in a society where humans become increasingly mechanical, interested in objects, numbers, controlled outcomes and statistical rules. @tarantism___
