  Between control and uncertainty (last edited: 2019) author(s): Marta Wörner Sarabia This exposition is in progress.
  Between control and uncertainty" is a practice-led research that combines the kinetic study of the body as a structure and the implementation of media and expanded choreography tools to de-pattern the conventional relationship between body and space in performative environments. Moreover, on a meta-level, the investigation reflects on the tension between control and uncertainty in the act of research itself. This inquiry started from my fascination for the kinetics of the body and its ability to reorganize itself in comparison with other structures that do not move that way. With the firm belief that the body has inherent knowledge which can be activated by experiencing and observing movement, and the aim to name that knowledge by comparing the body to micro and macro structures that do move differently, such as for example the microstructures of materials like metal, concrete, atoms, or the macrostructures built by the geography of the city and the Port of Rotterdam. The research has been framed under the inspirational umbrella of the idea of performing the Deleuzian concept of “becoming”, (deriving from the Latin verb “devenire” which means “coming down, falling in, arriving to”). The interdisciplinary research addresses the dichotomy structure-destructure and its application and affections to the body. In this sense, the research proposes a tool for de-patterning the habitual relationship between the body of the performer and the external space and offers to the audience a door for de-patterning their relationship with performative spaces. The inquiry is focused on the action of “falling in”, "devenire", as a physical door to the unknown. In concordance with the practice, the findings of this research can be seen as ways of controlling and ways of facilitating, allowing, provoking uncertainty within the choreographic practice-led research frame.

  i'm vrey into you (last edited: 2019) author(s): Francisco Beltrame Trento, Anouk Mirte Hoogendoorn This exposition is in progress.
  During the last Montréal summer of 2018, two creatures met in Canada. One creature came back to Amsterdam, and we decided we needed to continue the conversation through a series of exchanged texts. We created a file on Google Docs, in which we could add our thoughts, not separating where the writing of one ends and where one begins. Sometimes we do not know where one's body starts and ends. This (an)archive exponentially grew and reached more than 100 pages. The collective writing was the development of techniques for living together even apart, and more than, to survive the neurotypical world. We decided to call it I'm vrey into you. It resonates with a book of exchanged missives between the media theorist McKenzie Wark and poet Kathy Acker in the mid-nineties, published as "I'm very into you". During that summer we watched the last season of the TV series Twin Peaks (1990-1991; 2017), in which one of the main characters' manufactured doppelgangers travelled to this world but kept some tendencies of his past iteration from the black lodge (speaking words back to front - we understood he saying vrey instead of yrev, that would be very in this world). This is a multimodal work that mixes text, images and videos, resonating with the contingency and non-fixidity of being neuroqueer, as Melanie Yergeau states. i'm vrey into you has several iterations. A tiny modified excerpt was published in Simulacrum Magazine (The University of Amsterdam). Another version, that has differences in its form and content, is going to be published at Inflexions Journal (Senselab, Canada).

  Materials of Sound II (2019) author(s): Caleb Kelly published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
  This is the second issue of the Journal of Sonic Studies focused on the Materials of Sound (see issue no. 16). At the heart of these two issues is something of a twist in sonic thinking that sees the authors thinking about sound as more than sound, the opposite of Cage’s dictum of letting sound be itself – as hearing sound as sound. Instead, the materials that produce the sounds under investigation are understood as being more than the sounds that they create. Sound is not heard as innocent, pure, or transparent but rather as a part of a political ecology in which it is deeply linked to various histories and ecologies that form and hold the materials of any sound’s making.
