Body

The human body is an important tool for many of the artists presenting their work at ANTI Festival. Different types of durational performances or dances can require great physical effort from the artists' performing them, but on the other hand, the main focus of the work can also be on the bodily sensations of the audience. By bringing their art into varied environments such as private homes, pools, gyms, or wintery forests, the artists can provide their audience with different sensory experiences that also have differing effects on their emotions. Aside from physical sensations, different bodies also face different socially constructed expectations. Confronting and challenging these expectations has been a part of ANTI’s festival programme throughout its history.
