‘Full Drop into the Body’

This chapter presents a transcribed conversation and public discussion between Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir and Susan Kozel, held in the context of the ‘Energetic Forces’ research conference at HZT Berlin. It examines Guðjónsdóttir’s choreographic method Full Drop into the Body, which generates performance material from internally produced somatic states. Grounded in myofascial release, visualization, and deep listening, the practice understands fascia as embodied memory shaped by personal and sociopolitical conditioning. By activating connective tissue dynamics, Guðjónsdóttir seeks to cultivate heightened presence, cognitive plasticity, and forms of corporeal resonance between performers and spectators.
