This website came into being to cradle organ-ing, a multidisciplinary choreographic project which operates through a set of obscure organs that expand from spaces into bodies and from bodies into spaces. These organs don’t have vital functions and don’t seem to want to be named either; one could absolutely survive without them. Their byproducts are dances, sounds, objects and poems: a gathering of lovers in lust for touch. The site is launched simultaneously with the first presentation of babes, a dance piece created via organ-ing.

 

Through a form of worlding that doesn’t stop at the body’s borders, our project attempts to cultivate a space a little too sensual, where fantasy does matter, matter does fantasy and where every actant (an agent in the narrative - just like you over there) is a sidekick.

 

organ-ing is gergo d. farkas' close collaboration with composer Marton Csernovszky and visual artist Balazs Agoston Kiss, whose virtual objects will emerge into their physical form for babes’ second act, a group work scheduled to premiere in December 2024 in Trafo House of Contemporary Arts, Budapest.

gergo d. farkas (they/them) is a gathering of cells with a passion for choreography, dance, organisation, facilitation, romance and mischief. Being lost in Stockholm, Budapest, Vienna, or somewhere in between, they dream of belonging to sensual spaces where not only humans are invited to dance.

 

In season 2022-2023, gergo was a resident artist at Creative Europe’s Performing Gender program and toured their piece Deep Fake as a part of the Aerowaves Twenty22 selection. In 2021, gergő received the DanceWeb Scholarship, under the mentorship of Frederic Gies and Anne Juren.

 

As a performer, gergo has worked with Cullberg, Frederic Gies, Kata Juhasz, Tanya Marquardt, Ofelia Jarl Ortega, Karin Pauer, Alma Söderberg, Viktor Szeri, Alex Franz Zehetbauer amongst others. Between 2021 and 2022, they were a part of the Budapest-based queer collective OMOH. gergo holds a BA in contemporary dance from the Amsterdam University of the Arts (MTD department).
