Caterina Mora’s Final seminar

External Opponent: Hanna Järvinen, Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy

Frictioning different dance traditions understood as "folkloric", "popular" and "academic" from the souths and norths, the artistic research project entitled Conflicted Embodiment inquires about the potential of translation in dances and what mother tongues could be in dancing/performing. By trying to embrace the complexity of the untranslatable, I aim to unfold Conflicted Embodiment as a research device from the question: How does a body navigate migration, colonialism and dancing?

In this Final Seminar we will address the findings of the research, the plan for the Making Public and the plan for the Documented Artistic Research Project.
