Let the Body Speak

MAGMA is hosting a fundraiser to benefit Ukrainian dancers by showing videos from the project ‘Let the Body Speak,’ started by dance artists for the benefit of dance artists, not just financially but also to provide a platform for processing and expression during the time of war.

Featuring videos by: Korotkov Yaroslav and Koptseva Valeria, Voloshyna Yeva, Sotelo-Ramires Jasmine, Yaroslav Kainar, Miakushko Polina and Miakushko Kateryna, Yana Shevchenko and Dmytro Abalmasov, Svitlana Tretiak, Olga Drobysh, Daria Yeremenko, Dolgikh Olena,

“The human body is a certain “archive” that impressions of each of the events that happen to a human being during its lifetime are stored in. Having this scientifically proven idea as a base, we decided to create a video archive of the works, movement practices, and discussions of Ukrainian choreographers and dancers during the war.” – Anton Ovchinnikov, the author of the idea of the project “Let the body speak”
