Motion and emotions through heterogeneous geographies:Embodied research methods in site specific screendance
In this session four international artists from different corners of the world will share their artistic practice in the form of screendances and music compositions, which have been developed out of an associative process of ‘experiencing space’ in extraordinary landscapes, sites and locations.

These range from embodied research methods, emotional and social economic considerations of changing landscapes and emotional impact, to the ways in which sounds of places can evoke strong emotions in all of us.
