Rehearsing Moving Together A/Part.

Philosophy Unbound #25

With Lisa Moravec and Philip Leitner

This ‘intra-active’ (Barad 2007) bodily test ground began with an exploration of how three performers improvise movement with sound and philosophical texts. We invited participants to join us in flowing together but a/part, beyond any fixed movement language, where bodies perform with self and other through choreographed encounters.

This performance blurs the line between rehearsal and performance, body and verbal languages, to explore how individual bodily expressions–understood as forms of cutting-together-apart–c meet, when verbal and bodily limits are recomposed and habitual movement patterns are unlearned.
