MAP Fest (Melaka) – Traces of Transformation
MAP inspiration for this year’s Traces of Transformation
the Other: the Other is dissimilar to and the opposite of Self, of Us, and of the Same.
Making your event/performance here calls for de-habitualizing and de-narcissifying. Perhaps a new courage is required for the risk of discovering the Other.
The Programs
- These are the 4 platforms the festival provides. You can participate in all events, or just in Special events alone.
1 > MAPPING + Collaboration pods Daytime site-specific (works of up to 30min or extended to one hour. This is outdoors during the daytime on specific sites. Sound system will be provided. Sites: all around the hill and below)

MAP WORKSHOP POD
the Other – Antropic EMBODIMENT
by Tony Yap with Agung Gunawan and Agus Riyanto
(Wed-Sat, 14-17 Nov)
the Other is dissimilar to and the opposite of Self, of Us, and of the Same. Making your event/performance here calls for de-habitualizing and de-narcissifying. Perhaps a new courage is required for the risk of discovering the Other.
What are the most fundamental impulses where movements originate? Antropic is the unpredictable.
While automatic psychophysical impulses arise from inhabited areas of self, resisting them evokes new kind of drives. We are interested in those drives, which are atonal, unknown, unbridled, exposing blockages, fears and abjection. Appropriated in a situation of “nowhere to hide” by a touch of graceful compassion, they become lines of poetry addressed to no one from no one.
The workshop process will be structured by:
> States of trance focuses/levels – pathways of induction
> In-mobility work – breath, elasticity, stillness and flow of energy
> Concept of ‘Flow’ as a continuous shifts of states
Gravity/Grace – falling/levitation - the centrifugal
Vertigo – repetitive exertion exercises
> Autoscediastic inprovisation space:
An approach to autoschediastic performance and movement practice. Greek autoschedíasma, derivative, with -( s) ma resultative noun suffix, of autoschediázein- to extemporize, verbal derivative of autoschédios hand-to-hand, offhand, improvised.
