16.30 – 17.00 Wrap-up with SODA team

The 2019/20 SODA lecture and workshop seminar looks at the notion and experience of Belonging from the perspective of bodies. It explores how belonging is constructed, rehearsed, performatively brought about and authenticated by body- and movement-based, sensorial and affective means and strategies: how can artistic practice and aesthetic experience be understood as a site of recuperation for homogenizing and static identity politics? But also, when do we become complicit in collectivizing and stereotyping bodies in our dances, choreographies, performances and writings?

Zum Ende ihrer dreijährigen Gastprofessur am HZT präsentiert Alice Chauchat ihr derzeitiges Promotionsprojekt. Ihre Forschung kontextualisiert die Entwicklung, Praxis und Reflexion von Tanzpartituren indem Relationalität als Bedingung des Seins betrachtet wird. Dadurch werden Alterität und Unwissen ins Zentrum der Erfahrung von einer selbst und der Welt gerückt. Die Begriffe Annäherung, Relationalität und undefinierte Differenz werden praktisch ausgearbeitet. So plädiert Chauchat dafür, Tanz als eine ethische Praxis zu betrachten.
