September 2021: TaPRA conference
The annual Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA) conference was held online & Co-Hosted by Liverpool Hope University between 6-10 Sept 2021. Having been invited by the Working Group on ‘Bodies in Motion: Margins, Intersections, and Vulnerability’to the panel (Unwanted) Motions, and stillness against permeable entities I presented my paper “Movement as a form of knowledge – unlearning the prevalent by realising patterns of interference”. The conference provided an exciting and really rich experience and learning source.

Some material has been published throughout the process on instagram.
November – December 2019
In November 2019 I presented at the After Agency Conference at the HAT Research Center in Poznan with an attempt to line out a re-definition of ‘agency’.
In December 2019 I tried to make sense of these ideas for the future progress of my project at your yearly CREAM Winter Symposium. This marks the frame for a decisive chapter and the next presentation in context of the project.
April – November 2019
A slimmed down version was presented together with two dancers (Giulia Iurza and Gloria Trolla/Paola Drera) attempted to realize aspects of the original performance in different conference situations. Aiming to interlace different sources of knowledge came together in a grid visualising the positionality in space, while the amplified electromagnetic waves were disrupted by the movement of dancers as well as the audience. Intra-actively enhancing existing interference patterns aspired to undo an understanding of agency as a capacity assigned only to certain humans.
Presentations included:
- April 2019: Artistic Doctorates Per/Forming Futures at Middlesex University
- June 2019: Research Matters at University of Westminster
- June 2019: Borderlines VII at de Montfort University
- November 2019: 3rd Biennial PARSE Research Conference – human – in Gothenburg
July 2019
In context of the CREAM summer symposium together with David Leahry I organized a performative panel session. Collaborating on supporting each others workshop we shared the time slot to present two very different interactive interventions.
