losing face

// own work dance performance

+ art direction, concept, choreography + dance & performance

losing face by Cat Jimenez in collaboration with Imani Rameses, Sebastian Youngung Kim, Miranda Rumerstorfer

losing face takes a deep dive into the convoluted interweavings of the colonial mindset. Compliance is but a small price to pay for an illusion of a quiet existence, but when does existence become submission?

Four non-white performers from a variety of movement backgrounds negotiate their place in a predominantly white country - a supposed harmony. Yet, the living portrayal of harmony invites more dissonance making the lullaby of indifference an enchanting tune. Are the performers able to unlearn and untangle oneself from being made to feel less? The more one tries to save face one loses it even more.

losing face dances through contradictions of colored truths, negotiating the rhythms of an undeniable urgency.

Colonial mindset A condition in which an oppressed individual or group comes to believe that they are inferior to those in power or who are part of the dominant group. Colonial mindset is a form of internalized oppression.

Internalized oppression, or internalized colonialism, is a concept in which an oppressed group uses the methods of the oppressor against itself. It occurs when one group perceives an inequality of value relative to another group, and desires to be like the more highly-valued group.

Lateral oppression, or lateral violence, is displaced violence directed against one’s peers rather than adversaries.

examples

- as BIPoC in a predominantly white country voting for the right wing party - the promotion of whitening cream as being “clean” within black and/or brown communities - the belief of the own culture as being vulgar and/or ignorant in pre-colonial times - agreeing to physical/verbal violence directed to one's own community - and many more….

RIP KV Anand (1966 - 2021)

Another Kollywood legend is gone too soon. We just lost Vivek two weeks ago and now KV Anand is no more, too. I still remember how astonished I was seeing the HD visuals of Sivaji: The Boss on the big screen. And the hype for Ayan and KO was even huge among the youngsters in Europe. I pass on my deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans.
