Autocorrect is a solo dance performance conceived by artist Soňa Kúdeľová that draws inspiration from the algorithm of automatic text correction as well as the consequences of its use and operating in everyday life. The play of multitasking, being engulfed and in control of autocorrect as a tool of identity.
The Autocorrect performance is a loose sequel to Autopilot, the artist’s former solo.

The following performance review was generated within the project Dance Season 2018/2019 - a Slovak nationwide project of analyzes of contemporary dance performances and discussions, which was supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council.
A solo piece confronting dance with a video art. The movement is accompanied by abrupt noises or intense non-melodic tones and after the initial balance on the white square's edge, the performer literally falls into a whirlwind of images from the media world – facebook profiles, emoticons flying around and shots of various TV series. She is absorbed in them, her movement is minimalistic, as if driven by external force - her body fighting helplessly, unnaturally curved twists of the body alternate with safe, prenatal position.
