Artist talk

Staff and fellows in “Bodies, Creations, and Contexts – Research in Dance and Choreography @KHIO”

Dance at KHIO recently established three clusters for artistic research in the department, which will operate as umbrellas, centred around:

 

  • Bodily practices (#Bodies)
  • Creative processes (#Creations)
  • Contextual projects (#Contexts) 

 

The session will therefore have three parts, which will be based on conversations initiated by faculty members involved in each of the clusters, and moderated respectively by Rosalind Goldberg, Per Roar, and Eszter Salamon.

With the focus on BODIES, CREATIONS, and CONTEXTS, the three clusters are implicitly intertwined, but in this first introduction to the clusters, each has got a designated time and a moderator who will facilitate the conversations. Each conversation is estimated to approx. 50 minutes each.

Work Group

Objective Enactive
This online lecture-demonstration unfolds the term ´Poetic Materiality´ within the context of designing and choreographing with Somatic Costumes. Through critiquing and applying the somatic practice of Skinner Releasing Technique, the poetics of philosopher Gaston Bachelard and the materiality of anthropologist Tim Ingold, this talk begins to map poetic and material agencies between bodies-costumes within the design-performance encounter.

Artist Talk

Objective Enactive

This talk will focus on the first outcome of Glitsch(ening) Ci(rculari)ty, a tripartite site-specific, where I am pursuing a speculative exploration of the ecology of the city, between the urban and the biological, unfolding its layers and materiality of time. The talk will end in a conversation between fellow researchers and artists in the collaborative project Urban Ecologies, where Glitsch(ening) Ci(rculari)ty, is generated from.

Presentation

Polyvocal Tongue The presentation will focus on relational ethics and polyvocality in performative text. It will also explore the use of plural languages in a play, looking at how a polylingual praxis can open up new aesthetic potential in playwrighting and in artistic research in general.

Conversation

TRANSPOSITIONS— JAR, Mette Edvardsen and modular diaries At the start, the idea for an artistic research conversation with Mette Edvardsen did not spring out of the topics shortlisted for the conference—hospitality, vulnerability and care—but a book that she had co-edited, and dropped in my shelf.

Panel Discussion

The Ethics of Vulnerability and Artistic Research

Any ethical framework must take account of the vulnerability of the human condition. This is significant in all creative endeavours – especially in artistic practice and the teaching of it – since the very act of creating something and putting it out into the world is an expression of vulnerability.
