Nyhet! Performing Bodies, Rehearsing Citizenship (distans)

Stand- and sit-ins, human microphones, collective gestures and silent ballets in public space: this study circle takes contemporary examples of civic action, mobilization and resistance that place the body at the core as its starting point. It shows how bodies become suitable fields for projections of ideas, ideals and ideologies and fertile grounds for stereotypes and clichés, but also sites for rehearsing collectivity and citizenship. By combining practices from dance, performance and theatre and theoretical reflections in order to explore how bodies enable or exclude participation in society.

In the study circle we look at various practical examples of civic actions, mobilization and resistance with the body as a starting point and read texts that address the topic. Course materials will be provided in connection to the study occasions.

The study circle is arranged in collaboration with MDT.

The study circle takes place in the context of "Hållning", a practice-led and collective learning platform set up by the dance and choreography venue MDT together with an international and local group of artists, thinkers and partners during spring 2021. Read more: www.mdtsthlm.se
