“But how do you feel?” she asked. ”You know, it depends” I quickly
replied and paused all my movements. Depends on the space. “Yes, and on people”. “And on you, depends on me and my surroundings.” Different circumstances running through my mind while I struggle to put them in descriptive words of feelings.
“I guess you sense it, with all that you are.” “Yes, you feel it.”

Aha, aa, ah is a performance and visual depiction of our personal spaces.
Moving through them, expanding, connecting, and disconnecting, making a new one, a shared one that belongs to nobody. Or maybe it only belongs to us.

The psychological space that belongs to each of us is expanding, shrinking, overlapping, connecting, and disconnecting. We are all familiar with personal spaces, the invisible bubbles of space that surrounds each of us. We are living in a society with decreased social interaction, especially in the physical dimension that makes us less aware of our own and others’ personal spaces.

With this project, we want to visualize personal space through movement and objects. Through bodies and material. We want to bring a feeling of home into the performative space. With the intention to erase the boundary between the performer and the viewer and to create a ‘familiar’ setting. The intent is to expand our personal spaces into the viewer’s space. We are two performers, Queenning and Nika. Through a large installation/performance made up of one piece of fabric with cutouts, covering the whole space, we are ‘attached’ and control the fabric through movements such as layering and folding the piece where varied spatial figures are created. By changing the landscape of the space, we gain a sense of control of the environment.
