In the project, I will focus on conceptual-choreographic research related to the issue of the virtual body. In VR I see the possibilities of embodiment as the most interesting field of discovery, which seems to be inexhaustible in terms of movement. Iza is fascinated by the range of countless solutions, but also by the number of limitations of the cyber body. This includes the important process of developing appropriate performative forms to give the audience an experience of immersive perception.

As a result, a performance and video work designed with the use of VR technology will be created (as a part of the exhibition “Pierwszy miejsce w tabeli” (curators: Stanisław Ruksza, Anna Ciabach) in Trafostacja Sztuki in Szczecin. Exhibition thematizes soccer and its socio-cultural consequences. Among other things, the created video will include elements of football aesthetics. The work will present avatars who will perform fixed sequences of a choreography designed to a score of football regulations. The football players transferred from the pitch will be given slightly different motor capabilities. The performance will, in a way, be a guided tour of the predesigned virtual environment.
