Sensuous operate in the intersection of performance art, research, activism and curation.

In Sensuous we share our visions on what we term a Sensuous society. A vision, or rather a sense, that has been haunting us in our sleep for times and times... Sensuous society

Intervention

Cracking both the dominating economic system governing from its limiting premises and the exclusive and exclusionary modern art system governed by the autonomy of the arts and the art-genius.

The theory from which I operate argue that western society is primarily based on economical motives such as: self-discipline, optimization and reason. In opposition to that the theatrical space is primarily based on the motives of the aesthetic system; sense, delight, and feeling. With our performers being amateurs and with the involvement of the audience as interactive, ‘ordinary people’, as opposed to art-genius’, receive the possibility of experiencing the aesthetic enrichment. In addition this experience creates a feeling of liberation from the motives of the economical system that works repressively. Currently a relatively small number of people find their way to the live and relational fictional parallel universes. Therefore an implementation of a theatrical space in a professional organizational context is suggested. A project like this can be understood under the term: Arts-in-Business, where arts facilitate change in organizations. I am open to discuss the practical and value orientated challenges of Arts-in-Business but will however accentuate its potential. I will also pose the question if Arts-in-Business have the power to redefine the paradigms within which both Capital and Art operate.
