Souci de soi: AUDREY JOHNSON is a collaboration between choreographer Biba Bell and dancer Audrey Johnson.
Nearing the end of his life, Michel Foucault turned his attention toward the ethics of care as it relates to practices of freedom, subjectivity, and what he discusses as “technologies of the self.” A space for daily meditation, reflection, and physicality, the practice of cultivating the aesthetics and art of the self might counter forces of subjection and produce a movement to off-set the harsh political climate of the day. Here, the dancer is offered as a figure exemplar that critically navigates the spectrum between discipline, self-care, and experimentation.
