This week‚ I could think about the feminine aesthetics in a dancing body. In Witch Dance‚ Mary Wigman denies performing femininity.

Besides her dance‚ a wacky mask erases any emotion from her face‚ and a series of explosive sound generate fear and tension in her stage

What constitutes being an adult? Is it when you’ve finally reached the pinnacle of being “put together” by getting a job‚ place‚ and paying for your own phone bill?
