Hannah Dewor and Amelia Uzategui Bonilla: Elastics are like membranes (working title)
Hannah Dewor and Amelia Uzategui Bonilla collaborate with a team of disabled and non-disabled performers in an artistic research process. Together, they explore how interpersonal negotiations around conflict, consent, barriers, and accessibility can be made tangible, audible, and visible through elastic bands and creative audio description. Both the bands — as impulse generators and movement initiators — and various approaches to audio description will be tested for their potential as an aesthetic of access. What artistic concepts emerge when consent-based, collaborative processes become the foundation of creation?
Vilma Ehnberg and Pauline Michel: Rock Bottom
"Rock Bottom" is playing with the potential energy of weight and our overflooded minds. We are asking how we can transform states of physical heaviness and our mental load into movement while believing that heaviness can turn into a motor of motion and a source of strength. We are deep diving into our heavy thoughts, rocking and swaying to the beat of our heads.
