The Feminine-to-Come and the Poetics of Filmic Breath
Movement and Embodied Research Event
All welcome | 30 participants (free-registration is needed via Eventbrite)
Goldsmiths, University of London, RHB 300
Welcome drinks from 5.30pm | Main event starts at 6.30pm
Introduction, Workshop and Panel Discussion
Soon, we will weave the spaces as we speak. Together, we breath these words, inhaling and holding them, if only for a second, before we have to exhale again. We do not determine the space that surrounds us, between us, that passes as shared air, if only for a moment.
We breath, we move, we feel.
Co-facilitated with dialogues that weave the spaces of collective research practices. Activated around themes of ‘being moved’, bodily knowledges, filmic breath, rhythmics of shared breath and suffocation, when the wayward feminine is least felt in archives.
This welcome event invites members to think and move with the research collective
Counterfield. ‘The feminine’ we invoke at the beginning of the event is rooted in our (the convenors) shared understanding, which acts as a threshold for the feminine-to-come. During this co-facilitated workshop, we welcome you to collectively explore and feel Filmic Bodies of Breath through activating our bodies while thinking of these modalities.
We invite you to think/feel collectively again, setting in motion dialogues with new filmic bodies by Marie Theresa, to join in spaces that are constantly being remade by unfolding conversations. The filmic bodies question the modalities of the ‘tangible invisible’ shared breath that are positioned by Luce Irigaray and the potentialities to open to autonomous feminine subjectivity and sociality to emerge within these relationships.
We ask you to move with us, but movement isn’t essential. If you are interested in
exploring the connection between our bodies and the moving image and find out more about the research collective, Counterfield, you are welcome to join. The event will culminate in a panel discussion which teases out the links between our shared practices but also with the members that join the event, as we think the futures of Counterfield.
Indeterminate Transmissions | (In-Person) Movement Workshop
Tue 22nd Nov 3:00- 4:30 PM (BST)
MMB 110, Goldsmiths, University of London
All welcome (No previous dance knowledge is required)
Co-facilitated by Marie Theresa Crick, Daphna Westerman and Jiaying Gao
The film 'Indeterminate Transmissions – Hydro-Feminine' by the artist Marie Theresa Crick is a meditation on the search of ‘other feminine’, the ‘feminine-to-come’, that is a 'hydro-feminine' through the poetics of 'Filmic Breath'. 'Filmic Breath' thinks with how the filmic body itself breathes, in its digital, analog and post-lens (found footage) forms.
'Indeterminate Transmissions – Hydro-Feminine' will be our space of departure, as we explore Filmic Bodies of Breath and suffocation through activating our bodies while thinking of these modalities.
We invite you to think and move collectively with us. No prior knowledge or dance experience is needed. If you are interested in exploring the connection between our bodies and the moving image, you are welcome to join!
