On The Ground
Choreography and Performance: Irem Calikusu
Music: Mavi Isiklar
This piece was inspired by a video of mass dolphin slaughter in the Pacific Ocean, and a constant, dull sense of anger and despair at the ongoing war in Iraq. I asked myself a simple question: What does it take for a human to feel and respond to another being's suffering?

Irem Calikusu's life as a dancer started in Istanbul, at the Theater Research Lab with Mustafa Kaplan. Being deeply moved by a Butoh performance she saw in Istanbul, she went on to complete a Master's thesis on Butoh and post war politics in Japan at the Anthropology Department of UMass, Amherst. She has studied with Akira Kasai, Ko Murobushi, and Takuya Muramatsu as well as training for 2 years at the Cunningham School for Dance. Her biggest inspiration was the 5 months she spent training with Min Tanaka at the Body Weather Farm. Irem has been showing her own work in various venues such as Dixon Place, Movement Research at Judson Church, Cave Art Space and Cunningham Studio.
