– a seminar in search of a format that can function as a lab, a lecture and a performance
an exposition by Jannine Rivel

I think there will be more than one on stage.
I think there will be conversations.
I think there will be staged material.
I think there will be questions.
I think there will be recorded material in audio and/or video.

I think there will be some improvisation.
I think there will be choreography.
I think there will be dancing.
I think there will be five senses present and presented.
I think there will be movement-based material.
I think there will be some sort of interaction.

I think there will be music.
I think there will be smell.
I think there will be something to watch.
I think there will be something to taste.
And I think there will be something to sense.
Not knowing the end or what form

Question:
Do I begin from movement, emotion or a specific sense, in relation to the function of the body and its movement possibilities in different motives?
Beginning within one sense how can this change the outcome of the material, choreography, dance or play? Is it possible to use an emotion to (re)do and (re)write past and present in the process of making performing art? Can this tilt the structures surrounding us?

I also wrote a master essay called Intertwined figures. I worked with the same set up in the writing as in re-hers. You can e-mail me if you want to read it or find it through Diva
