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

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. To see a short clip of my section please follow this link: “Voice as embodied expression, voice as interference in movement“.

The performance ‘signalling at the molecular level‘ has been presented at the HYPHEN exposition at AMbika P3 in March 2019. The collaborative performance piece featured the amplified INTUERI (2017-18) e-textiles by the interface designer Gabriela Guasti Rocha.

Collaborating Dancers are Giulia Iurza, Livia Massarelli, Francis Maskens, Gloria Trolla, Tom Wohlfahrt, as well as the Esprit Concrete Art du Deplacement and Parkour practitioners Georgia Munroe and Louiseanne Wong.

Starting to present at the symposia of University of Westminster’s CREAM department to develop and shape ideas for my PhD project moved by being moved / to moving. Stills from a recording of this presentation “agency as being/doing intra-activity – de-centering conjectures of self” provide some of the background of this site.
