In her choreographic work Dragana Bulut regards the theater as a public forum for critical investigation of the various structures and intersections of aesthetics, economics, and emotions. By appropriating established formats, she creates performances rooted in the tension between the material and the immaterial realms, between tangibility and affect,reality and fiction. These social choreographies bring to light the, often, overlooked shifting processes that choreograph our behaviors as a society. She is currently using the medium of social choreography to examine the commodification of emotions.

On Februrary 29th, Berlin-based artist Dragana Bulut will be with us at XL Box to discuss her artistic and choreographic process after two weeks in artistic residency at O Espaço do Tempo. This is a project supported by FELD/LAB, promoted with the support of the Goethe-Institut in Portugal.
