Naïma Mazic has been investigating a (poly)rhythmical communication and thinking between dancers and musicians, asking questions such as „What is Jazz-apprehension of time?

10 questions to ask your watershed – Cory Tamler with Jennie Hahn

During this residency period at Lake Studios, Cory and her longtime collaborator Jennie (based in Wabanaki/Maine) are engaging in a long-distance codesigned research process with pieces of their local watersheds. Our starting questions include: How do humans map cultural imaginaries shaped in one place onto another? How do we each practice knowing place in companionship with water, in situated understanding of settler/Native perspectives? How do we draw connections between waterways/waterscapes? “10 questions to ask your watershed” is a first sharing of this research, sourced from first encounters with our local watersheds and built through a practice of passing performance texts back and forth and allowing words, imagery, and embodiment to sediment and erode as the texts move.

minutes of earth – Sarah Jegelka & Hannes Buder 

A sound and dance improvisation. Cello, voice, movement. In our work we explore the different shapes of sound and body language – researching about the liveliness of a collective body. What role does the individuum play? The liveliness within ourselves?
