ECOPERFORMANCE
In the field of the performing and audiovisual arts, ecoperformance is a concept coined in 2009 by the Brazilian choreographer Maura Baiocchi and elaborated by the German director Wolfgang Pannek. Ecoperformance understands environment and body as inseparable dimensions of performative creation. In ecoperformances, the environment constitutes a living play of interactive presences and forces, among which the human body. Therefore, ecoperformances and ecoperformative films strive for non-anthropocentric forms of dramaturgy and cinematography.
