LACE Symposium

This is the fourth episode of the second season of the LACE Symposium podcast, the official podcast of the LACE Symposium for Dance and Other Contemporary Practices.

In this episode, Deirdre Morris (she/they)—artist, body worker, and curator of the LACE Symposium—talks to Zrinka Šimičić (she/her).

Zrinka and Deirdre discuss Zrinka’s work with the SomaHut initiative in Zagreb, Croatia. SomaHut aims to connect diverse communities—especially those less familiar with embodiment practices—through art and somatic experiences. They reflect on the transformative nature of embodied learning. They explore cellular consciousness, considering cellular identity, the fluidity of boundaries, and the interconnectedness of individuals within a group. The conversation also touches on the role of somatics in understanding how knowledge is created, and the importance of embracing uncertainty and the space between the known and unknown.

Zrinka’s contribution to LACE No. 4: Fractalising Touch, entitled Od Stanice do Zajednice will take place on the 30th of July, a Thursday, at 11AM.

The LACE Symposium is curated by Deirdre Morris (she/they), Sylvia Scheidl (she/her), and pavleheidler (they/them). LACE No. 4 is made in partnership with PART International Art Residency Austria, and ImPulsTanz — Vienna International Dance Festival!
