"Nobody? Yes, body!" was made both as a dance video and a solo dance piece to be performed on stage with a video projection. It was made as an ironical manifesto of contemporary dance. It came out of an existential discussion “what is contemporary dance” in a form of questioning and answering. The naked body of a dance is used as a screen where the text of manifesto is projected. Thus, the dance is becoming both a participant of the discussion and its embodiment. At the end of the piece the nude dancer is appearing on the stage manifesting herself “a real contemporary artist”.
