Workshop practice sharing sessions Part 1, session 1

Bodies as Ears-Invitation to Listen

Martin Sonderkamp, Professor of Choreography
Ulrika Berg, Assistant Professor of Dance
Hara Alonso, Composer
Jenny Sunesson, Affiliated researcher, Sound artist

What are you investigating and what will we experience during your presentation?
Through an embodied artistic research practice, we’re exploring how listening can transgress the acoustic when applied to place, body, memory and the imaginary. We write études (practices), choreograph and compose audio scores, and host participatory situations to transmit various listening modes. We will share some listening etudes with you in a shorter, practice-oriented workshop.

Dancingisdancingfordancingwithdancingthrough

Zoë Poluch, Assistant professor in Dance/Head of program, Bachelor program in Dance Performance

What are you investigating and what will we experience during your presentation?
I am a devotee to the specific ways of sensing, knowing and feeling that can be cultivated in a dance practice and/but observe a manifold of urgent and constant situations that my tangible dancerly capacities could be in relation to and with, but are not. I invite you to dance with me to find these relationships, asking how we can mobilize dancing for something more than itself.
