On the Symposium
The curators of this symposium have always been artists, scholars, and specifically, embodied practitioners sharing an understanding that the main goal in organising this event has been to provide opportunities to engage in knowledge exchange in an embodied sense. More recently, a new line of inquiry merged with the existing one. This new line of inquiry originates with the notion and the practice of “artistic research” or “practice-based artistic research”.
Mediating Touch
In any challenging discussion that involves touching or touch, touch is frequently appointed the necessary source of all confusion. But what if touch and touching need not be the source of confusion? What if the source of confusion could emerge from the way touching and/or touch is mediated, communicated, observed?
Hospitality
What does hospitality, itself an example of a mediating practice, teach us about the conditions that are necessary for one to join in the experience of kinship, the experience of care, the experience of touch?
Opening
This evening opens a week of diving into practicing and researching hospitality. The symposium regards hospitality a key condition for thinking - thinking as a full body process. Isabel Lewis, this year’s mentor of DanceWEB, will open the topic followed by invitations to engage in relational and connecting practices. This is an open doors event. Be ready to move and practice.
