QUESTION AS INNER STATE

QUESTION BEFORE THE STAGE

A question must be present before entry, not added afterwards as gesture, facial expression, illustrative pose or artificial curiosity.

LIVED QUESTION

The body cannot pretend to be curious. An actual question may activate memory, sensation, association, resistance, uncertainty, emotional direction and imagery.

KNOW WHY / DO NOT PROVE

The performer should know why they enter without needing to know what they must prove.

OPENNESS

The question keeps meaning open and prevents demonstration, explanation, conclusion or message delivery from closing the work.

“PINA WAY”

The source describes remaining open rather than closing meaning as one approach associated with Pina Bausch. Do not present it as the only method.
