Embodied fluidity & somatic interdisciplinarity
This movement-based workshop invited participants to explore their fluid interdisciplinarities through choreographic and somatic practices. Organized by the Knowledge Exchange with Society team at the Centre for Cultural Techniques (ZfK) and artist Irina Demina (Scarbod. Lab), the session used sensory observation, kinesthetic imagination, and guided movement improvisation to connect with the waters that move around and through us — both literally and metaphorically. We tuned into the liquid architecture of our bodies as a way to engage with interdisciplinary thinking and embodied togetherness. The session offered a gentle but energizing entry into the second day of the symposium with fluidity and curiosity.
