Talking, moving, singing into Brutal Honesty

Zornitsa Stoyanova

Connect

Brutal Honesty is a performance improvisation practice of spontaneous language in dance. It explores the notion of not censoring oneself and unearthing truths of the here and now. In our present world, where “alternative fact” is still a saying, and truth about anything is hard to find, this practice brings the question of what is real, and honest and true to the individual.


The generation of language and movement initiates from the sensual body, our memories, feelings, and the here and now.


Within this practice, Stoyanova works with repetitions, derailed desire, the form of the confessional, the highly emotional, and the vulnerable.

With over 100 offerings – from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more – Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime. Blaze your own trail at cannonballfestival.org.

About the Artist

I am a multidisciplinary performance artist. As an immigrant and a mother, my body holds a plethora of identities that shape the content of my work. As a choreographer I use text, song, man-made materials, and movement to create performances. I am drawn to themes of otherness, womanhood, feminism, power dynamics and vulnerability. My work is influenced by surrealism and science fiction, and I often engage with my audience by inviting them on stage or choosing a non-traditional venue and format for my work.


I care deeply about sustainability in the dance community, both from the individual life/career balance perspective and on organizational level. I research and hope to create platforms that are fiscally self-sustaining and focus on development, knowledge exchange, and support. Producing, curating and writing about others work is a huge part of my creative process. I hope though my lifes work to further conversation and collaboration in the global dance performance field.
