2025 dance in planthroposcene workshop
PHYTO-SOMATIC DANCE PARTY
What is
inside of us? This practice is a mixture of comparative microbiology and a
dance party. Within the session, we relax, move and sweat. Drawing on
phyto-somatic and folk approaches to dance we look for new sources of personal
and collective movement and relatedness. Hands-on exercises, guided
improvisation and sonic experiments support a deeper awareness of cellular
intelligence and a transgressive sense of community. Dance and music serve as
tools to swell out beyond our bodily contours, becoming a boundless community
of pulses, waves, and flows. We engage with traditional
polyphonies and grooves, plant studies, and ecological perception as our
methodologies. Mixing the
spirit of laboratory with the intimacy of a party, we delve into the field of microbiology
of relatedness, focusing on our epithelium as an interface and our bodies as vibrating
cellular communities, attuning to the timing of a planetary body and micro timing
of our embodied musicality.
