performer for Alexandra Pirici, Girl Folding a Handkerchief

The video work Girl Folding a Handkerchief by Alexandra Pirici takes its title from a cyclographic capture, an image translating the movement of a young woman folding a handkerchief into a geometry of light curves. Made by industrial engineer Frank Gilbreth in the beginning of the 20th century, as part of the time and motion studies developed together with his wife Lilian, it reflected a new process of visualizing, standardizing and making workers’ movements more efficient, known as the scientific management of labor.  

Corpuri și povești (in)vizibile - tururi performative ghidate de Maria Mora

What is the history of dance in Bucharest? Who, when and where did she dance? Until recently, the history of Romanian dance seemed to be the sum of absences and invisible gestures, rather than a series of material evidence. However, since its establishment, the Bucharest National Dance Center (CNDB) has carried out projects to recover this history and reactivate the collective memory. Some of the remaining traces were recovered from personal archives and carefully inventoried in the CNDB Archive. During October, we invite you to find out these stories from 10 artists / performers in the field of contemporary dance who will tell you the history of dance in the Capital, in guided performative tours around the city.
