No matter how we try to define power, it hypnotizes, entices, and also terrifies us. It is usually associated with politics and the art of war, but power is about being in the world as a whole and each of us individually. The effect of power on a person and the power of one person over another can be fatal. Power can elevate and advance a person, but it can also corrupt.

"The power of power. Bodily sensations in an environment of power" was born from the desire to open power as one of the most controversial human and social issues as a kinaesthetic experience and bodily manifest. There is a hidden charge in dance – an energy that frees up opportunities to physically explore, open up and choreographically express this theme.

Power seems to be something external, but if you have a closer look, it is an inherent characteristic of nature – according to Hegel and Nietzsche, even the most basic nutrition means subjugating another, absorbing and digesting it.

Materials from Julie Diamond's book "Power. User's manual" and from the writings of Ülo Vooglaid and Kristina Herodes were used.
