Research LAB: A Choreographic Exploration of Collective Formations and Ideas
19,20, 22 – 27 July 2012/ 10 – 16:00
Coda Space, DansensHus, Copenhagen

LAB DESCRIPTION
This research explores a choreographic concept which investigates socio-political pattern and notions of community through constant evolving collective structures.
We will explore shapes that trigger different ways of how one group might organise themselves in space as one collective. Choreographic scores create a space where individual expression and collective metamorphosis are in moving interplay and constant flux.
Practicing these formations on micro levels, practitioners experience dynamics also found in the macro outside political world. Ideas such as Collectivity, Community, Democracy, Responsability, Indivdiual & Collective Expressions (collective emotion, consciousness etc..) are investigated in practical and theoretical discursive ways, using our bodies, voices, drawing and creative reflective writing as mediums of investigation.

Working Together
A lab is a research method, in which everyone is ivited to share, contribute, collaborate, give and receive equally. Framed by the main theme umbrella, we will explore, inquire and play with its complexities, guided by 4 labs, introducing 4 different approaches to ‘Ideas of Collectiveness‘. Individual contributions are welcome so everyone can grow equally from this one week of creative inquiry and moving together.
