Anne Juren develops Anatomie as an intimate choreographic setting that shifts attention away from the visible body toward inner perception. The work invites the audience to experience the body not as an external form, but as a space of sensation, imagination, and projection. Through voice, touch, and guided attention, choreography unfolds inside the spectators themselves, transforming perception into a site of performance.

The piece emerges within Juren’s long term research on Fantasmical Anatomy, a practice that investigates the body as a constructed and continuously reimagined entity. Drawing on exchanges with blind and visually impaired people, Anatomie questions the primacy of vision and proposes alternative modes of sensing and knowing the body. It situates itself in a broader artistic and discursive context that intersects choreography, somatic practices, and psychoanalytic thought.

In the performance, Juren works with minimal visual stimuli and instead activates a precise interplay of language, proximity, and attention. Instructions, descriptions, and tactile imaginaries guide the audience through a series of internal movements. The choreography does not present bodies on stage as objects to be դիտ, but relocates movement into the perceptual and affective processes of each participant. This approach redefines choreography as an experiential and subjective event.

Anatomie is presented at ImPulsTanz in 2017 and continues to resonate as a work that expands the field of choreography beyond visibility. It challenges habitual ways of seeing and invites a reconsideration of how bodies are constructed, sensed, and shared. By shifting the locus of performance inward, the work opens a space where imagination and corporeality become inseparable.
