resistance fantasies: strategies for moving toward- and against-

2019 // 3 hours
FOOTAGE: Target Margin Theatre (78 min)

resistance fantasies is a three hour dance performance, supported by a symposium of somatic experiments under the same name. In the performance 4 dancers rehearse strategies for resistance through live-decision making, & systematic consultation of a spellbook of scores. Through this live practice, we shape a performance ecology that hosts our intuitive gestures of rebellion and care.

Marion Storm is a dance artist based in Sete/montpellier. Her projects have been recently presented at Center for Performance Research (New York), 3 bis f – lieu d’arts contemporains (Aix-en-Provence) and mas nyam nyam (catalunia) among others.

Storm’s writing has been published by The Operating System, Loam, and About Place Journal. She teaches intergenerational movement/sensing/attention workshops for everybody, and offers dance classes to dancers that mix her particular embodied practices that fortify the links between body and place.

Storm was the recipient of a Foundation for Contemporary Arts ‘Emergency Grant’ for her collaboratively built performance and symposium resistance fantasies: strategies for moving toward– and against– in 2019, and was awarded an ‘Artists in the City’ scholarship by Fondation Hermes in 2019-2021 for completion of the Master Exerce (Montpellier) in Choreographic Research & Performance.

Her dance & writing work on and with the planet is grounded in hydropoetics, & the sensuouness of transmission in performance (like–this is what it feels like to…).

Marion Storm began to choreograph and compose dance in 2010 at The New School with the guidance of Neil Greenberg, on Lenapehoking land, in New York City.
