Markéta (born 1997) is an artist and researcher based in Prague, Czech Republic. She graduated London Contemporary Dance School at The Place in 2023 with a Masters degree in Expanded Dance Practice. It was there she cultivated an interest in the possibilities of choreographing consciousness - her own, or the collectives. This inquiry continues to be a foundational pillar in her research.

Dance can be the antithesis of a clock. Dance can teach us that time is not separate from the body. In fact, the moving body is rather a reminder that time and space are always in a dance. And the dance never stops, but it also never began. One can tap into this dance, the same way one can tap into a rhythm. By losing themselves, and jumping into the flow of it all.

When I flow in the studio, my body sheds its borderline and I feel bereft of the ego. I feel in collaboration with the universe. I sense an influx of cognition pouring over me like water on the flesh. The porosity of flow is an ever present feeling. I pour and I am porous. I pour and you pour and we pour into the same vessel. And there is a boundary dissolve. One can comprehend this boundary blur between self and environment through playing scale and perception. Scale yourself down to the cellular level, and thyself no longer exists. Take forty pirouettes across the floor and the world is not perceived as so stable anymore. And how lucky are we, to have the ability to shift our own perceptions? To choreograph our own consciousness?
