Bryana Fritz

Bryana Fritz is a choreographer, writer and dancer based in Marseille. Her work is informed by an ongoing interest in medieval literature, mystical theology, and the politics of readership. Her most recent projects, Submission Submisssion and Begin/The Mirror, focus on Medieval Women’s history, the body as a tool of subversion, and the theological concept of resurrection. With Henry Andersen, she initiated the Slow Reading Club, a participatory performance that uses bodily practice to complicate the act of collective reading.

Residency project

Resurrection is a new dance solo by Bryana Fritz. She is working on the medieval debates around the resurrection of the body. In the late Middle Ages, scholastic theologians were rerouting the question of what is a body – how is it continuous versus how does it transform by way of what form it would take at the last and final judgement. Through dance and sound, a body retakes its flesh as the trumpets sound.
