The Invisible Playground IV: Multiform, who dare to feel in worlds that are disappearing.
How is our body’s inner landscape formed? What does this dynamic ecosystem consist of? What conduits, islands, channels, and networks do we have within our bodies, and how do these channels extend outward? Do we make use of all the connections our bodies offer? How do emotions—evidence of our connection to the surrounding world—shape our inner landscape? And how can we use our bodies to connect with the spaces and places we inhabit and create together, carrying them within us so that we can recreate and share them with others at other times and in other places?
Tusculum, as a space for free creation, community life, and care, is coming to an end. It is coming to an end as a physical place, interwoven with emotions, that has hosted many human and non-human inhabitants with their needs, desires, and visions. Gradually—through settling in, naming, and building relationships—Tusculum became a safe space where we can dream bold dreams.
How can we say goodbye to this place and carry a piece of it within us, so that it may continue elsewhere through the principles and values that guided its existence? How can we work through the sadness and frustration of loss without avoiding these emotions?
Eva Priečková suggests keeping this sadness warm so it can remain in motion, rather than letting it settle into the soul. Come join us for one of our final gatherings with Tuscule so that, together, sometime in the future, we can create something new again.
Eva Priečková is an interdependent dance artist, researcher, and curator, working primarily around the Telocvičňa residency center in Bratislava. As Eva Priečková/False Move, she oversees the SOFT CORE educational program, which connects embodied movement experience with critical reflection on the body and relationships. She is interested in dance within the most diverse groups possible, ecosomatics, and non-human resources, as well as rituals of mourning and celebration. She is a co-curator of the international symposium “Kontaminácie.” In her work, she explores the potential of dance education in relation to social justice, interpersonal responsibility, and emancipation from the unconscious repetition of normative behavior. For her, dance is an act of the impossibility of taming bodies and minds, of curious perception of the world around us, of imagination, wonder, sensitive listening, and everything that cannot be expressed in words. In 2026, she completed her doctoral studies at JAMU in Brno. She loves collaboration, which is why she has been working for several years with Yuri Korec & Co., Zuzana Žabkovová, Katarína Poliačiková, Sonja Pregrad, and many other inspiring artists.
