NO FITA, NOMÉS CROSS CROSS CROSS

Joana Capella

NO FITA, NOMÉS CROSS CROSS CROSS is an action that takes the form of an (anti)fitness encounter. It is an open performance where the public is invited to take part in a choral choreography, and in which they use twerk as a tactic to experiment with other possible gestures. The notions of intensity, performance or productivity will be explored bodily, as well as the fact of dancing in common, and the exercise of a possible collective muscular memory.

Joana Capella Buendia (1990) is a visual artist. She lives in Mollet del Vallès and works in and around Barcelona. Her practice unfolds through research, performance and material and audiovisual production. She is interested in the issues surrounding artistic production, its possibilities of existence and institutional critique, but is also interested in feminist thought and ecology.
