Fate Is Not Your Own

Choreography and Performance

An embodiment of the feeling one might have whilst waiting on a decision that one has no direct control over. Oftentimes, we are faced with big life changing moments which are 'out of our hands’ placing us in a state of limbo, as our next steps solely depend on the outcome after the awaited decision.

The immensity of these emotions in these moments we often repress in areas of the public, especially in areas such as waiting rooms, which is where this project draws inspiration from, developing it into a movement piece. Representing a space of in-between, moments of optimisim and moments of doubt.
Choreographed and performed site specific in one of the waiting rooms of Rathaus der Landeshauptstadt in Potsdam.

Performed 6 times in 2 days as part of 'Von Amts Wegen’ Localize Festival in October 2023
