Who is ‘me’ in ‘meme’ in ‘MEMEMEME’?<\/em><\/p>\n

MEMEMEME<\/em> is the\u00a0space of a community’s flow of association, a clash of an infinite number of memes* and their reverberations. Through the performers’ bodies \u2013 organic generators and bearers of ideas \u2013 as well as digital video and sound references\u00a0the performance layers gestures, movements, images and expressions. It explores the potentiality of semantic splits and gaps opened up by\u00a0the\u00a0fragmented nature of modern communication and questions the social mimetic drive \u2013 this almost unstoppable tendency to imitate.<\/p>\n

*A meme is any idea that is, despite its potential randomness or nonsense, repeated and multiplied through variation and selection. As a consequence of the near universal use of the internet in the digital age, the most widespread, flexible, resilient, and circulated are precisely (viral) internet memes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jan Rozman<\/strong> (1991) is a freelance dancer, choreographer, improviser, performer, and performance maker, based in Ljubljana and Berlin. His artistic practice engages with extended embodiment, material semiotics, textures, gaps, errors and confusions, ecology, imagination, (science) fiction, and humour as he searches for relevant performative articulations of the post-internet\/anthropocene era.<\/p>\n

He studied contemporary dance at Arts Secondary School in Ljubljana and choreography at School for New Dance Development (AhK) in Amsterdam. He received his Master\u2019s degree in solo\/dance\/authorship from Inter-University Centre for Dance (UdK), Berlin. He also graduated in physiotherapy from the Faculty of Health Sciences (UL), Ljubljana. In 2019, he received the Ksenija Hribar Award<\/strong>, presented by the Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia, as the most \u201cpromising choreographer\u201d and was also the recipient of the DanceWeb scholarship at the ImpulseTanz Festival in Vienna.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
