Physical manifestations represent a significant part of a dance research project that Snježana Premuš has been developing since 2012 with various collaborators. With its kinaesthetic dance system, the study focuses on various choreographic situations, observations, reflections provided by different audiences, artists and professionals, while generating specific scores and presentation formats that would suit best the particular segment of the research. The author introduces some plausible reflections on physicality within personal, social and public space by questioning the disciplined body as a contrast to the dynamic body that is able to detect, produce and articulate movement and sensory processes beyond the presupposed body codes and forms.

In the performance Every now is time, space, the main focus of the research remains our perception in the modern world of hyperproduction, as well as the question, how we perceive our own bodies and bodies of others. Together with the artistic team and the audience, she enters into new relationships through the exploration of perception and creates a space where where we can experience and observe what drives us and how intangible images of perceptionemerge in so-called collective simultaneous spaces. The performance is thus directed into a multimodal spatial system where different images integrate and disintegrate into unique compositions. The audience is invited for a walk through a space where they are not confronted with a linear dramaturgical structure. The viewer, together with the performers, meanders in an increasingly widespread landscape of simultaneous events, images, possible connections and experiences, which he not only "arranges" these perceptions into his/her own "story", but also incorporates them into his/her own set of plausible responses and creative accumulation of possible forms of sensations, meanings and acts.
