Още от Вилендорфската Венера женското тяло се възприема като обект. С първия филм направен през 1878 г. (The Horse In Motion) човешките телата започват да придобиват по-реално измерение, но уви и до ден днешен представят семпъл образ на човешкото преживяване. През 21-ви век, вече всяко дете се нововъзприема като дигитален образ – мърдащи се картинки, танцуващи в TikTok, лица сполучливо гримирани като еднотипни красавици. Възприятията на женското тяло в дигиталната медия за съжаление са твърде еднотипни, плоски и ограничени. Чувствеността и сензитивността са винаги представени пред сексуалността на мъжкия поглед, а женското тяло е или хетеросексуално, или въобще не присъства. През 21-ви век женският дигитален образ е прелъстяване и сексапил, без голяма възможност да се отличиш измежду другите копия на един и същ урок по гримиране. Жената в дигиталната кутия на телефоните и мониторите ни е танцуваща, но никога мислеща, мулти-измерна или чувствена извън рамките на идеите за свръх хетеросексапил.

“My choreographic and visual artwork revolves around the politics of the female body. In my visual art, I use the female body as an abstract object revealing ideas of strength in sensuality and emotionality. As a mother and a returned US immigrant, I hold a plethora of identities that shape the content of all my artistic inquiries.”

Zornitsa Stoyanova
Zornitsa Stoyanova (USA/BUL) is an award-winning performance artist, curator, writer, lighting, and video designer. Based between Sofia, Bulgaria and Philadelphia, US, she directs her company BodyMeld which along with presenting her work, focuses on creating programs in support of independent choreographers in both her locales.
Her stage, video and photographic work uses the female body as an abstract object revealing ideas of strength in female sensuality and emotionality. On stage, she explores feminist ideas, the power dynamics between dancers and audiences, and personal stories revealing vulnerability and strength.
Her last group performance, AndroMeda, was commissioned and presented by The Philadelphia Museum of Art (2020), and her solo performance Explicit Female (2016) was awarded a “Rocky” – the Philadelphia contemporary dance award. Her choreographic work has been shown in festivals around the U.S. as well as in Bulgaria and France. As a dancer, she has performed for Eiko & Koma, Boris Charmatz, Cie. Willy Dorner, Group Motion and improvisation companies Emergent Improvisation Ensemble and Graffito Works. Her work with Emergent Improvisation brought her on the cover of “Composing While Dancing” book by Melinda Buckwalter. Her screendance films have been shown in festivals across the U.S. and in Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Bulgaria, Ireland, Germany, and Bangladesh. Among her most influential teachers are Deborah Hay, Danny Lepkoff, Meg Stuart, Susan Rethorst, Eva Karczag and others. Her work has been supported by National Cultural Fund of Bulgaria, Citizen for the Arts Pennsylvania, Pew Center for the Arts (previously Dance Advance) amongst others.
Zornitsa is also a supporter for a sustainable dance community and is deeply invested in helping further conversation and collaboration. Through BodyMeld she has created workshops, residencies, and showcases – most notably her partnership with Movement Research(NYC) and Stary Browar Novie Taniec(Poland) in bringing Polish artists to Philadelphia. She teaches improvisation techniques for performance, dance on camera and composition and has done so in Philadelphia, France, Hungary, her native Bulgaria, and online. Zornitsa is also a writer and editor for thINKingDANCE.net.
