In connection with the performance Performing Underscore # 2 at Dansstationen on September 17th Tuva Hildebrand and Plattform för Improvisation & Somatik are hosting a public conversation with the dance artists!
We will speak about the dance archive these dancers carry in their bodies, the philosophy and ethics embedded in their somatic and improvisational practices and other topics that might come up as we all meet and bring our curiosities.
We feel it is important to cherish this opportunity to be in conversation with an international dance lineage and generation, history, and knowledge which is usually not available to be in dialogue with in Malmö.
“What knowledge and people are archived in your dancing body? How are you thinking about the legacy of your own embodied knowledge? What are the ethics and philosophies embedded in your practice? Do you change how you move through the world and society by spending time in the studio practicing dance?” … are some of the questions we will conversate about.
We are excited to be in conversation with…
