A woman's body is a growing repository of the histories of her mother, grandmother, daughters, etc, and the power dynamics that shaped their lives and her gendered view of herself, believes Santacruz-based filmmaker Priyanshi Vasani. But what if a body can be addressed without the limitations of gender identity? That's an idea Vasani will be toying along with Bengaluru-based dancer Ronita Mookerji in a virtual dance-film performance titled Amorphous, at Ctrl.Alt.Femme — the fourth chapter of the crowdfunded dance platform At The Still Point, curated by the Kolkata-based ideation agency Artsforward. The platform, put together by director Paramita Saha, is an attempt to make the audience a stakeholder in an artiste's performance.

Conceived over two years, Amorphous, Vasani tells us, is a performance born out of Mookerji's introspection of her body, their travels to her childhood home in Kalimpong, conversations with the women in her family, and their own relationship embedded in empathy. The performance, she describes, is a journey of moving portraits of the dancer that Vasani has shot, in sync with her live movements. "It brings together the subjective and objective voices — Mookerji expressing something inside her, and the way I view her, giving her story a tangible touch." In a digital format, the show will be a dialogue between the dancer's improvised and structured contemporary movements, Vasani's visuals, different features of Zoom, and the audience, who view her through many cameras.
