OPEN SET

Symposium | On the Practice of Tuning-in
Tomorrow - March 8, Pakhuis de Zwijger
❗️LINE-UP

A artist Peter Vial will talk about the artistic strategy developed in his project The Schoolyard Belongs to Everyone! which addresses a specific situation: "Two schools in Amsterdam Zuidoost share a schoolyard. One school is a public elementary school and the other is a school for special primary education (children with special needs). The schools don’t use the schoolyard at the same time, due to the friction that might occur between children when they share this outdoor space. As a result, the schools have developed different rhythms: different schedules for using the yard and different activities which they are occupied with there."

Symposium ON THE PRACTICE OF TUNING-IN❗️LINE-UP. Suzy Blok, the director at the dance production house Dansmakers Amsterdam and co-founder/director of the Moving Futures festival & network.

In her talk, Suzy Blok explores tuning in and rhythm from the perspective of dance. Dance is an art in space and time. The dancing body tunes in and relates with the space in a certain time, structure and tempo. While dancing, we’re constantly relating to our inner movements and rhythms and expressing these to the outside as well as vice versa: bringing the outside rhythms and environments into our bodies. When we dance together with another or with others, we create sensitivity and awareness towards each other, finding points of rhythmical harmony and contra points. When we dance, we tune in to each other, to space and time and create a common ground while moving from our own individual and vulnerable body with all its history, emotions and subjectivity. These dynamics ask for trust and openness to give space for the non-cognitive and non-tangible sharing of physical expression.

❗️Join us this Friday, March 8 at Pakhuis de Zwijger!
