BODY TALKS WORKSHOP SERIES
What does it mean to “understand” art? Under which conditions do we establish a connection – cognitive and/or corporeal – to an artwork? And how can we express such a relationship in any way other than words? With the new, experimental Body Talks format, Kunstraum Niederoesterreich explores how art mediation can be achieved beyond spoken language and with the aid of embodied knowledge transfer. In the framework of various participatory events, visitors are invited to respond to the Kunstraum exhibitions through movement, dance, voice, and the like, and to thereby enter into an embodied exchange with the topics addressed.
Workshop series with Daliah Touré
Departing from her practice as a dancer and art mediator, Daliah Touré is developing a three-part workshop series at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich over the course of 2024. In these workshops, we physically engage with the contents of the respective exhibitions through movement, dance, and touch and discover how our bodies can help us to understand and reconfigure our relationship to the world, to spaces, to other people and life forms. Performance scores, improvisation techniques, and intuition are among the methods employed.
A workshop runs for a maximum of 2,5 hours and is tailored to a group of up to 15 people.
Our Body Talks series takes place in form of both public and closed workshops.
As part of All the feels! Body Talks takes place in cooperation with ORG1 für Kunst und Musik Hegelgasse 12 on Wed, 26.06.2024.
