Listen to it in English here. In English and German. Can erotic Desire emerge intersubjectively not only between people, but also between a performer and the space itself?
And if so, how are the two phenomena connected? In other words, how can we cultivate a consensual erotic relationship to the universe? Not compositional choices based on broad knowledge of improvisation techniques, but a clarity of decision-making in which consciousness is not located entirely within the individual, but rather emerges as an active interplay with their environment.
There is often a sense of entering a pre-existing channel: it is clear what needs to happen. The PhD is intended to articulate a map to expand consensual erotic relationship between humans to eventually include everyone, and everything. It draws on practical strategies from three fields to do so — conscious sexuality practices such as tantra or BDSM , spiritual practice particularly mystical Judaism , and art-making specifically choreography — and brings them into conversation with each other.
It proposes that these strategies for using the body as a channel connecting to something beyond the individual self are all but different aspects of the same prism. Dance — Choreography — Teaching David Bloom.
