During this RESONANCE, we extend an invitation to dance as a mode of processual, relational, and vibrant research. We propose a collective meeting space to continue exploring ways of investigating through movement. From a somatic attentiveness, while allowing dance to overflow knowledge itself, we open up to the intuitions, questions, and desires that arise when we ask ourselves: what happens to us when dance happens?
Through explorations, guided improvisations, or specific movement practices, we will gather traces of our own research as a way of supporting what emerges, with the intention that these inquiries continue to unfold.
