Bodies are much used to display projections of and implement fantasies and norms of productivity and optimization. In their respective artistic practices, choreographers Raquel Meseguer and Jeremy Wade disclose and destabilize these dynamics of inclusion and exclusion. In dialogue with Sandra Noeth and Anna Wagner, they discuss how performatively reworking how to move in space, time and imagination opens up different ways for a body to participate both in society and in the art market.
