Abstract: The dance performance ?Body - The Present Flowing into The Past? was presented in the group exhibition ?Past Meets Present? held at Anna Laudel Gallery as part of the parallel activities program of the 15th Istanbul Biennial. The concept of the exhibition curated by Huma Kabakc? and Mine Küçük was inspired by history and therefore the notion of time. It consisted of a selection of works of 16 local and international artists making use of different materials and techniques. The building, which has formerly served as the Ottoman Post Office from 1901 to 1915 and is currently active as Anna Laudel Gallery, based on its history and architecture, was chosen as a venue for this exhibition. In designing the performance, the body was defined as a space under continuous transformation that contains within itself, all time related concepts known as the past, the present and the future. In the process of movement creation, the body is positioned as an intermediary carrying the present into the past and so is in a state of conceiving the present from the memory of the past. The future is inspired by the present and still pursues its vagueness. Based on these concepts, contributing to the designs of sound, stage and costume, artists produce their own works. In their working process, they combine and develop in an interactive way, elements of movement, sound, stage and costume. In this paper, the formation process of the performance ?Body - The Present Flowing into The Past? will be analyzed by focusing on elements of movement, sound, materials used and design.
