With Festival d'Automne à Paris. The audience can enter and exit at any time during the performance.
Part ghostly repository of unconsumed sensuality, an installative kinetic fadeout, part somatic (strip)tease, This resting, patience addresses attraction, voluntary objectification, proximity and the aesthetics of bareness.
Over the course of three hours, Ewa Dziarnowska and Leah Marojević, dance solo and in unison across the blue carpet laid out at the heart of the Fondation.
Employing an experimental format, it upsets the passivity of installation and the time-delineation and dramaturgical resolution of performance and steps away from the tradition of viewing dance as an alienated spectacle to instead emphasize its immanent sociability.
In its devotion to the body, This resting, patience proposes sensuousness and dancing as timeless and democratically available technologies of undoing the world and projecting the continuous present into a future that lasts, quintessentially tender, infatuated, attentive.

Her recent projects — This resting, patience,and A Room With a Better View (Display Gallery x Berlin Art Week) - reflect her sustained inquiry into improvisation as both method and philosophy. Her practice unfolds in real time, balancing precision and spontaneity while questioning the social and aesthetic frameworks through which dance is produced, witnessed and circulated.
