How do we observe, pass on knowledge and guide without words? How does non-oral transmission and communication occur in dance?
In this proposal I would like to explore the potential and poetics of silence as a radical and healing space for embodied knowledge, development and transfer.
As part of the project I offered some open research sessions entitled Teaching without words. In this sessions I experimented with guiding a group without verbal instructions, I was interested in exploring questions around agency, hierarchy, content transference and learning.
Without words is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media within the framework of the initiative NEUSTART KULTUR, aid programm DIS-TANZEN by the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.
