ERIKA TSIMBROVSKY
ARTISTIC RESEARCH
Erika Tsimbrovsky's artistic research examines the relationships of dance, visual art, and text through the emerging-shifting concept of dance-installation, "audience-particular" dance, and work invested in healing and ritual that call on longer genealogies of embodied knowledge-tradition. Tsimbrovsky is interested in dance artists’ writings, looking at their essays and personal, intimate texts and focusing on dance thinkers-practitioners who rebel against conventional forms of both dance-making and text-making. Bodily explorations of new languages and modes of communication created by entities muted and unrecognized by society are the core of Tsimbrovsky's art dance research/practice.
explores asemic writing and reading, the materiality of language, extended writing techniques, and intermedial bodily presence in writing, focusing on its corporeal dimension.

The Book
The Book, a dance installation for the SOMArts gallery space, used structured improvisation to create a multimedia story-sharing where there was no boundary between artist and audience—both were empowered to share their personal stories at any moment.
Perambulatory Body
Having been disoriented by my life’s shifting geography, I try to connect to those who were lost in between communities, places, and times.

Embodied Connections/Locations
Bodily explorations of new languages and modes of communication created by entities that are muted and unrecognized by society are always at the heart of my art dance research/practice.
