Suddenly, the words lost their meaning.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not right now, when I am writing this text, but already almost two months ago – on February 24, 2022.<\/em><\/p>\n

The very words that we use to motivate, convince, regret, ask for forgiveness, confess our love and explain to our children what it means \u00abto be honest\u00bb have crumbled into letters and turned into prickly anti-tank hedgehogs. Now they only express the intention, but skillfully hide the meaning of the message behind complex constructions and intonations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The words form the language by which we identify our national identity. The words unite us within this language. But we need more and more time to find the right ones and discard those that are no longer appropriate.<\/em><\/p>\n

It turned out that now we need to find a way to prove the sincerity of some words and admit the failure of others. We need new evidence and perhaps a new language.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is a feeling that of all the present we have only our body left. Sometimes strong, but more often weak and vulnerable. A body that hurts, bleeds, rejoices, admires and, of course, loves. A frank dancing body with its subtle ability to notice the implicit and perform what cannot be said in words.<\/em><\/p>\n

The body that hears and feels gazing into the world around and at the same time declares its presence at every moment of time. A body that manifests the presence of a person with all its complexity and ambiguity.<\/em><\/p>\n

The body insists on its ability to speak. And then the dance becomes the most honest mediator in communication. The world around us requires even more awareness and attentiveness to what has been said and, more importantly, what has not been said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dance becomes a necessity. The wisdom accumulated by the body of knowledge cannot be faked or replaced. A dancing person is a person who thinks and draws his wisdom from a source that is priceless.<\/em>
\nLet’s Dance. And let a dance makes us honest and impartial.<\/em><\/p>\n

On International Dance Day watch the new dance movie by Anton Ovchinnikov on Vimeo: <\/strong>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/704300999<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Anton Ovchinnikov about the movie: \u201eWhen I analyze my perception of events and information during this time, I get the impression that everything has become completely black and white. Halftones disappeared and all people were divided into \u201efriends\u201c and \u201efoes\u201c. In texts, which I began to collect on Facebook, I was searching for these same halftones to bring the ability to feel back in my life. It also become the ability to preserve the imaginative perception of the world beyond good and evil.<\/em><\/p>\n

I felt it was important to capture this moment. That`s how the movie come out of being isolated in war time. <\/em>There was no one to help me and I had to organize all the processes myself – shooting, editing and writing music<\/em>\u201e.<\/p>\n
