SEMINAR: SymbioticA Friday Seminar: Inhabitate Transnational Terrain

Inhabitate introduces current cross disciplinary research developed between dance artists Orr and Sweeney working in geologically significant sites across the UK and Australia. Since 2005 ROCKface have created innovative performance methods combining contemporary choreography with ecological and environmental exchanges through a parallel transnational terrain inquiry. This paper will open ROCKface's definition of dance ecology topographic movement training, choreography as a cartographic practice and transfer of properties.

ROCKface was founded in 2006 by Rachel Sweeney (IRL) and Marnie Orr (AUS), to investigate site-driven physical performance languages related across disciplines. We aim to highlight the sensory, kinetic intelligence of the dancer working in situ, drawing from intuitive and proprioceptive memory through distinct perceptual modes of engagement and also in consultation with a range of ‘field’ professionals from geographic and ecological disciplines.
