In the context of SCHULE@Im_flieger 2024 – Artistic Research through movement(s)
We propose an intensive space to practice, reflect and feel what and how happens when the attention happens, and which ways of relating and situating ourselves in the world display the different ways of paying attention. Which qualities and forms emerge when we shift the attention to the in-betweens and processes while dancing? Could a long-exposure attention to the possibilities of proprioception let ‘other ways of looking at the same thing’ emerge?
The philosopher Andrea Soto Caldéron and the dancers Martina De Dominicis and Laura Vilar will generate attempts to reflect on attention through practice, writing and discussion.
