ALE JIMENEZ | 
mise-en-corps/puesta en cuerpo: an embodied (an)archiving

This act of transference explores the bonds of the body, the archive and the transmission of knowledge. It inquiries the theory imbricated in practice through a doing-feeling-thinking flux where the public sphere is relevant to the embodied experience.

KELLY KEENAN | Dancing with Metaphoric Anatomies

In movement and dance training the models we use to understand our bodies become the foundations of practice profoundly shaping how we think, move with and imagine what a body can do.

MARCELA SZWARC | Eco-feminism, Folklore and Puppetry

My current work utilizes aspects of ecofeminism, Polish folklore, activist theatre, and science fiction worldbuilding to make sense of personal and collective grief in the so-called Anthropocene. I come at these topics with a multidisciplinary approach, using a blend of writing, painting, drawing, performance, and puppetry.

MICHAEL WATTS | The Immersed Body

Looking at design and creation of movement through visual/digital art, +  the admiration of the physical body in its performative state to decontextualize the original

PAOLO GRUNI | Towards Post-Realist Perception

Via performative praxis that engages the embodied consciousness in its wholeness, intersubjectivity, and relational embeddedness, perception can be cultivated as a spiritually activist aesthetic practice to transform human cognition and relation to others, the self, and the world(s). Post-realist perception is a practical, embodied, ongoing, ever-renewing, poetic project/process of creative re-definition (ambiguation) of reality.

PO B. K. LOMAMI (Pauline Batamu Kasiwa Lomami) | Super-performances for a superhuman

I develop an indisciplinary and interventionist practice of super-performativity to create technological possibles through sliding and asymmetries and I super-archive them as an opportunity to feel someone and something that is not there anymore.

XDZUNÚM DANAE TREJO-BOLES | the rod | la vara

A series of variations (physical explorations) between the human body and the rod; rods as measures of space, extensions of the body, weaponry, points of balance, paddles, propulsors, writing tools, etc., but also in the transformations they create in individual(s). What effect do external elements have on our physical and cognitive patterns?

Queer Epicenter Transformations

 

I am investigating internal transformations in durational performance art and its relationship to non-binary and transgender identities. I believe it is within the embodiment of affectual transformation that queer resistance is created through performative action.

JUANITA MARCHAND | Vocal Timbre and Perception

What assumptions do we make about people based on their voices? Through historically informed exploration of vocal production, scientific research about timbre perception, new music creation, and creative experimentation we can make space for trans, BIPOC, and disabled folx in classical singing.

Las Sabinas: intervention, language, translation​

Our research, Sabina G & Sabina R, has shades of humour and layers of explorations: from feminist art, to ecological considerations, to questions of what it means to have a community. We collage meanings and overlap questions in physical and historical spaces.

NIK FORREST | From Experimental to Ecological

Sound as an ecological medium defies normative boundaries between self/ other/ environment as well as oppositional binary categories (inside/outside, natural /unnatural): it suits the social challenges of our current moment, including questions of gender + sexuality.

QUINLAN GREEN | Performance-Space-Text

Engaging with avant-guard theatre-making techniques and critical race theory, using space-specific text, authentic movement, and various forms of live-art/poetry, to research the semiotics of performance. The aim is towards pragmatic representations of identity politics, via a personal subjectivity which intersects with Black and queer lenses.
