A chorus becoming: welcoming difference and complexity through collective spoken word

Aktivitet: Tale eller præsentationForedrag og mundtlige bidrag

Beskrivelse

How to communicate and implement scientific knowledge at the societal level – a level where complexity, multicultural, geo-political and economic diversity is the rule? How to do it justly, welcoming difference in context and purpose, between the diverse stakeholders? This difficulty is definitely felt when scientists, academics and researchers try to communicate with each other, beyond the borders of their fields of expertise. Moreover, to discuss justice is to discuss access, agency, and the ability to translate knowledge into lifeforms which bear it and make it fruitful.
The A chorus becoming on-site performance/workshop is a collective guided sonic exploration through voice, rhythmic patterns, and active listening. It is about practicing embodied strategies for dialogue across disciplinary boundaries in potentially transformative ways. Though we will provide a few initial performative guidelines, its aim is to be a self-generating flat structure – a space for co-creation, improvisation, and the emergence of call-and-response dynamics. The participants will be invited to playfully voice specific key questions of their research within this performative frame – setting the acoustic embodied materiality of meaning language back into play - and explore misunderstandings, frictions, choral resonance, and intersubjective tensions, while navigating the vocal fabric being weaved around them.
