Towards Sensuous Ecologies, Rethinking ableism in choreographic and movement practices

During the spring of 2024, we are holding weekly interdisciplinary research seminars that are organised and led by professors in the research profile areas. A new theme is discussed each term. 

WRS welcomes all SKH teachers, senior researchers, PhDs, MA students, and an invited public, WRS are SKHs primary context for encountering the research happening within and in relation to SKH.

WRS provides a regular time and space for internal and external researchers to come together to share a variety of practices, perspectives and approaches, to identify affinities and differences, to raise common lines of enquiry, and to engage in critical discourse and intersubjective dialogue across an array of themes, subject areas and artistic disciplines.

Towards sensuous ecologies aspires to develop new transdisciplinary artistic methods that are attuned to neurodivergent perception, enabling the experience of communality, inclusiveness and empowerment through immersion, choreography and body practices.The research project aims to generate knowledge concerned with fostering sensory immediacy, kinesthetic-embodied response, affect, and intersubjectivity.

Dalija Acin Thelander and her collaborators Noah Hellwing and pavleheidler will present collaboratively written text which aims to document the performance and practice developed within the research, sharing the challenges and dilemmas encountered over the course of the process.
