NEW WORLD is a performance where WITCHTITS search for entrances into an intangible world. They are finding the edges of magic. They believe the key is somewhere within them. They gather treasured possessions and cleanse their bodies in preparation for their quest. Guru wands, a playlist and a xylophone transport WITCHTITS and the audience to a NEW WORLD.
WITCHTITS is a dance/life witching collaboration between Alicia Grant and Zinzi Buchanan. They practise rituals, chants and fake/real healing in group actions, performances, interventions and installations. They find soft boundaries between real and fake in burnings, crying/laughing meditations, finding power points, Be Your Own Healer workshops, Radical Anxiety and Triangle Power Djing. For stage, they have previously developed the piece, “WITCHTITS by WITCHTITS” with Philip McKee around “The WITCHTITS GAME”. It is an improvised word game based on personal and universal truths, distortions and idealism. It has been performed in Berlin, Stolzenhagen, Potsdam and Amsterdam. Most recently, they made the book of spells,The WITCHTITS Book of Magic, during a 2 week residency at Ponderosa in Stolzenhagen, Germany. They will perform their newest piece, “WITCHTITS go to paradise” at Tanztage 2013 in Berlin.
