Artist Residence at the old power station
Well.he is the work that began with the recognition of"no"! With the refusal of the consent of the body required from the performer of his notorious "availability". By rejecting also the omnipotence of the regular pulse, which is contrary to our most veiled impulses. By refusing to reconcile our desires with the common law of bodies.
However, instead of wondering why we reject what oppresses us or looking for an alternative to that oppression, I wanted to explore the rejection itself. It seemed to me like a poorly defined signal: "I can't do this, my body doesn't want it". In addition, it implicitly revealed the aspect of the body that says no; the aspect that occurs when the body does not follow the imposed forward movement, when it does not digest, when it stumbles, when it stutters. When his materiality clashes with our desires and limits them, in the erratic rhythm of his falls and resurgences. In my opinion, this contains possible seeds of rebellious bodies. With this "no", the body does not show anomaly, but on the contrary, its own language, an expression of negation that is always linked and intertwined with its most celebrated opposite: flow, continuous forward movement, streaming. This language is the language of rhythms.“ […]
Claire Huber creates performances at the intersection of oral poetry, choreography, sound and music, writes and translates poetic texts, develops dramaturgical reflections on issues of orality in its modern and old forms, and works closely with the new music and sound scene. She studied philosophy at E. H. E. S. S. (master's degree, 2010) in Paris, and choreography and dramaturgy at Tanzfabrik (2013) in Berlin and at P. A. R. T. S. (research studios, on the word / sound / movement / movement, 2017) in Brussels. In 2020, with musician Stalin Blake, she founded the art platform "Inflatimations" with an international and multidisciplinary orientation, where she develops experimentation, creation and thinking about performance, as well as the search for new forms.

No.oN je delo, ki se je začelo s priznavanjem „ne“! Z zavrnitvijo soglasja telesa, ki se zahteva od performerja njegove zloglasne „razpoložljivosti“. Z zavrnitvijo tudi vsemogočnosti rednega utripa, ki je v nasprotju z našimi najbolj prikritimi impulzi. Z zavračanjem uskladitve naših želja s skupnim zakonom teles.
Vendar namesto da bi se spraševala, zakaj zavračamo to, kar nas zatira, ali iskala alternativo temu zatiranju, sem želela raziskati samo zavračanje. Zdela se mi je kot slabo opredeljen signal: „Tega ne morem storiti, moje telo tega ne želi“. Poleg tega je implicitno razkrilo vidik telesa, ki reče ne; vidik, ki se pojavi, ko telo ne sledi vsiljenemu gibanju naprej, ko ne prebavlja, ko se spotika, ko jeclja. Ko se njegova materialnost spopada z našimi željami in jih omejuje, v nerednem ritmu njegovih padcev in ponovnih vzponov. Po mojem mnenju to vsebuje možna semena uporniških teles. S tem “ne”, telo ne kaže anomalije, ampak nasprotno, svoj jezik, izraz negacije, ki je vedno povezan in prepleten s svojim najbolj slavljenim nasprotjem: tokom, neprekinjenim gibanjem naprej, pretakanjem. Ta jezik je jezik ritmov.“ […]
Claire Huber ustvarja predstave na presečišču ustne poezije, koreografije, zvoka in glasbe, piše in prevaja pesniška besedila, razvija dramaturške refleksije o vprašanjih oralnosti v njenih sodobnih in starih oblikah ter tesno sodeluje z novo glasbeno in zvočno sceno. Študirala je filozofijo na E.H.E.S.S. (magisterij, 2010) v Parizu, koreografijo in dramaturgijo pa na Tanzfabrik (2013) v Berlinu in na P.A.R.T.S. (raziskovalni studii, o besedi x zvoku x gibu, 2017) v Bruslju. Leta 2020 je z glasbenikom Stalinom Blakom ustanovila umetniško platformo „Inflexions“ z mednarodno in multidisciplinarno naravnanostjo, kjer razvija eksperimentiranje, ustvarjanje in razmišljanje o performansu ter iskanje novih oblik.
