Nela H. Kornetová is an independent performance maker and performer based in Norway. She works with themes that the audience can relate to instinctively, aiming to create atmospheric performances that explore the borderlines of live art forms using the body, visuals, and sound. As a member and artistic leader of the independent group T.I.T.S., Kornetová initiated, created, performed, and produced Forced Beauty, an audiovisual dance performance about power structures and our fascination with violence.
There are three performances of Forced Beauty from April 7–9 in The Downstairs. Tickets can be purchased here.
1. How would you describe your work as a choreographer?
Sensuous. Visual. Visceral. Human.
2. Who or what has inspired you?
Everything and everybody I meet and live. The world and my not understanding of it.
3. What can audiences expect or take away from the performance?
I hope you get touched. That you get to feel and think for yourself, yet with us. That you'll remember some of the images and sensations we have created for you.
4. What are your upcoming plans for the rest of the year?
I plan to survive, live well and take care of my little daughter while touring around and creating new experiences for our audience.
5. How would you Remake a World?
OH. Oh, oh. So hard. Perhaps I would rebuild it with softness, caring for and embracing our differences. And take the violent lust out of our nature.
6. What does working at La MaMa mean to you?
La MaMa is our U.S. mum. They are giving us the opportunity and freedom to play on a very new and exciting playground. So let's see if we make new friends or new scars. :-)
