RESONANCE WINTER 2022

Saturday December 17, 5 pm to 7.30 pm

People keep hearing that the experience of dance cannot be written down. People keep hearing that there is little or nothing written about dance. It continues to be heard that in its condition of ephemeral discipline….

This talk is designed to retrace some myths. Readings of readings of readings that give space to writings, cataloging systems, critical approaches and different inventions to circulate knowledge. We open this meeting and conversation space to share working tools for archiving, editing, curating and other ways in which the multiple relationships between dances and writings are manifested. Taking as a point of support the personal experience of each one as writers, compilers and in the edition of contents that at the same time that they are specialized, question, open and expand both what we understand by dance and what we understand by writing.

Our most recent publications will be shared and made available for sale. Each and every one accounts for long research processes:

In process talks

It is an open call for Resonance participants to present in 10-15 minutes a process in which they are immersed. It is a matter of making a brief presentation of the work in progress, not of showing anything finished, but of giving a voice from doubts, blurred constructions and what is unclear.

From the presentation, there will be a feedback, a ‘walk with’, by the teachers as well as the other participants of the Resonance. Presentation formats are free, it can be an explanation, a presentation of performance questions, an exercise, etc.

The space for sharing will take place on July 11 and 12, from 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.

Mostra Resonance: 'Travessia Còsmica' i ' Tentativas de (des)aparición'

• Travessia Còsmica by Gisela Creus and Marha Echavarria

Travessia Còsmica talks about the relationship with nature that surrounds us and of which we are a part. It is a journey where the essence emerges and an opportunity is born for a new look, respectful and in coexistence where all matter lives in the same plane of consciousness.

Gisela Creus has been carrying out a process of research and creation of the language and poetry of dance for a year. During this year, issues such as the complexity of the human relationship with the environment, both physical, energetic and human, have emerged. The comfort and discomfort generated by this relational space and the constant search for the Cosmos, the universe conceived as an ordered whole in the individual and social being.

For some years now, Marha Echavarria has been researching, investigating the subtle relationship between dance and yoga, and how the two disciplines can dialogue and generate an energetic body, present in the bios of the actor / dancer. He is interested in the construction of Scythia as a journey where 'being' and 'being' travel the different paths that life poses to us.

We live in a strange and wonderful universe. It takes an extraordinary imagination to appreciate its age, size, violence, and even beauty. It may seem that the place we humans occupy in this vast cosmos is insignificant; maybe that's why we try to make sense of it and see how we fit in. —A Briefer History of Time, Stephen Hawking.

• Tentativas de (des)aparición, by Laura Vilar with Pierre-Michaël Faure

This proposal will always be an unfinished process, an investigation, on / between / through an open field of interest that has to do with how the experience of movement, attention, listening and possible drifts towards deployment and openness to otherness and space for action, can be a ground for rethinking, unbalancing or interrelating a situated perspective. One of the central questions of the research would be: could an intuitive attention to the possibilities of movement deploy / show the 'between' vibrating bodies by emerging other ways of 'looking the same in a different way'?

This performative research 'walks with' the discursive research in process within the framework of the Doctoral Thesis in Artistic Research of the Department of Philosophy of the UAB that I will present at the end of 2022
