08/10 – 4pm – Distant Movements – with Annie Abrahams, Daniel Pinheiro, Muriel Piqué

Distant Movements is a project by Annie Abrahams (FR/NL), Daniel Pinheiro (PT) and Muriel Piqué (FR). They develop an experimental, performative approach to examine what «dancing together» could mean in an environment where bodies are entangled with machines. Questions like: “Under what conditions can we dance together online?, “How will a dance practice in an artificial environment differ from a «normal» dance practice?”, “Can the emergence of dance in bodies that are both distant and together become visible and if so how?”, guide the project, which is also a concrete example of a remotely activated multilingual collaborative artistic research. DM comes to NODE20 as a one-off welcoming everyone.
