Her choreographic works are defined by the creation of transformative experiences on stage. In her work, the bodies manifest the ways that power structures are experienced and are embodied. Through the use of the mythical as a tool, she creates a condition that is charged with historical, fictional, social, and personal experiences. This mythical construction that channels reality becomes a speculative topos and a force field that the performers inhabit. Kat V\u00e1lastur\u2019s precisely crafted choreographies are defined by the way the bodies are subjected to power and the way they slowly turn it into a position of resistance. The choreographic conditions that she creates and which she calls \u201cforce fields\u201d lay the foundation for her and the performers to develop a dance language that centres around transformation. Her work has been presented in Germany and abroad.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:13px\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 &#8211; 12 June 2022University of Applied Arts ViennaVordere Zollamtsstra\u00dfe 7A-1030 Vienna Held at the University of Applied Arts Vienna from 9 \u2013 12.6. 2022, the arts-based research project Reflecting Oil\u2019sinternational colloquium seeks to further propel the project\u2019s multi-perspective rethinking of crude oil in an effort to shed fresh light on our understanding of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3336,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3653","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC9717_bea_web.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC9717_bea_web.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3653"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3653"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3851,"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3653\/revisions\/3851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reflectingoil.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
