Beautiful Confusion Collective views live performance as a space to slow down, get reacquainted with presence and experience time differently. Our projects emerge from the questions we find most pressing, often at the intersection of the individual and a structure, be it a built space or a social construct in need of interrogation. Movement research, drawing on practices from dance and theatre, including butoh, choreology and Viewpoints, is at the heart of our work, but we also draw approaches and inspiration from photography, collage, live art and sound art. We view our projects as ongoing, multidisciplinary research projects expressed through performances, installations, site-responsive works and/or digital art. We are currently in our third season of collaboration with Venuše ve Švehlovce, an independent theatre in Prague and have worked with a range of partners and festivals across the Czech Republic and in the UK. Our approach to dramaturgy is both intuitive and rigorous, and informed by felt sense and embodied reading and writing techniques. We are interested in the liminal, the queer and the complicated, as well as the personal and the specific, which we understand as means of getting at the issues that impact us all. With wit and humanity, we try to open space for our spectators to engage in deep dialogue with themselves.
