Bodymarks
Bodymarks was a production by Kingsworks.
Bodymarks was performed at Dansens Hus in Oslo in April 2010. Bodymarks challenged the presence of and communication with a dancer, as well as the text's communicative and poetic dimensions in live performance. The work approached issues regarding signs, traces, dance and text.
The video work (separate) was shown at Gdansk: NORWAY fest (The Flood of Norwegian Alternative) by Political Critique in 2011.

Text from Bodymarks by tg.performance.ritual:
"You are a planet on which I am printed
The shadow of this copy is a tattoo in my soul
The Body is a tank of experience
carrying masks from the media carnival...."
Bodymarks by tg.performance.ritual is a part of a continuing project called 3 Layers of Shine. Bodymarks is the first project in a series of ten of what Tone Gellein refers to as "video poetry".
