MICROBIOLOGY OF RELATEDNESS
ABOUT PRACTICE & TEACHING
As a workshop facilitator, I use a mixture of score-based improvisation, storytelling, hands-on work, voice practice and (micro)biological knowledge to access innate bodily virtuosity in dancing, supporting the state of being carried by movement and the access to playfulness in articulation of it.
Touching visions and haptic speculations enhance fluency and frivolity in reading physical reality. Receiving, responding, reacting. Waves, flows, energy circuits. To be in touch, to be moved, to be a vessel. Delegating agency to the peripheries, decentralizing, attending to details, embracing nuances, welcoming the unknown.
Since 2018, I’ve been facilitating various workshop formats playing with somatic and mental habits, both as part of dance training and as a research tool in artistic and social contexts:
BECOMING-BODY & WORKING WITH THE OBVIOUS - using improvisation across media
BECOMING-PLANT DANCE SESSIONS – mixing different branches of knowledge: philosophy, craft and dance to attend to more-than-human sociality
PHYTO-SOMATIC DANCE PARTY - combining visceral meticulousness of somatic microbiology with social intimacy of a party
