Petra van Aken, Visual Bodygraph

My work moves at the intersection of dance, movement, choreography, and visual art. My research focuses on physicality: what does it mean to have a body, and how do we communicate with it, with each other, and with our environment?

Through community art, participatory performances, workshops, and visual work, I explore how physical experience generates knowledge. I believe that creating together from the body provides insights that, alongside thinking, are essential to understanding the world.

Visual art is both a form of research and a tangible outcome of the process. Are you interested in collaborating, participating in a workshop, or viewing my work? Please feel free to contact me.
