DISTANT COMMUNICATION I (2020) from Marie Cole on Vimeo.

Alex and Marie are two contemporary artists based in London and Oslo. They use their body as a tool to overcome societal norms and to deepen their connection to themselves, others, and the world around them.

‘Distant Communication’ is an on-going exploration of their relationship and collaboration of two curious bodies craving a deeper ability to feel and to hold the body’s potential. In this performance, through the use of movement, touch, and marking the two individuals are engaging in a power dynamic that defines the next move. The power dynamics are defined through the lack or not of clothes worn by the individuals and who is the subject and who is the object.

‘Distant Communication’ is an on-going exploration of their relationship and collaboration of two curious bodies craving a deeper ability to feel and to hold the body’s potential. In this performance, through the use of movement, touch, sound, sight and smell, the body becomes a space for play as an attempt to feel and listen to the other person with full awareness and presence.

In a disconnected world, when do we actually listen to our loved ones, see them for who they are, and feel them?

The Naked Eye (Intro) from Marie Cole on Vimeo.

Introduction -- WHAT WHY HOW I am curious to understand my behaviour towards The Gaze. Why does eye contact make me sometimes want to hide ? Why do I feel anxious? Who is it that I am hiding from ? What is in me that’s resisting?
