“I love to use Excel to visualise choreography. (When you’re talking to collaborators in words, there will always be misunderstandings.)”

Ning WANG｜王甯

Ning WANG｜王甯 regards her body as a complex carrier with both material and emotional compatibility, and the individual is rich in unique historical traces. In recent years, she has actively participated in cross-domain cooperation, including circus, sound, new media, experimental video, and behavioural art. We talk about her work Cracking that reflects on the extreme phenomenon of overproduction and over-manufacturing under the high-speed operation of global consumer culture, and this strange, uncoordinated, and even depleted physical state.

we discuss:

  • the show “Cracking“
  • role models
  • choreography as more than patterning
  • how to be watched and balance the power by seeing back
  • contact improvisation changing how you know the body
  • physical understanding is at least the same importance as understanding through reading
  • technology and the body being materials towards choreography
  • being a “low-tech” artist
  • the book One Shot – www.rile.space/books/one-shot
  • the freedom of ignoring the past and embracing my past – cultural past as well as physical
  • collaboration as a way to share the responsibility
