withing Delphine Chapuis Schmitz --- Emma Cocker --- Laressa Dickey --- Sabina Holzer --- Ines Marita Schärer --- Litó Walkey This is an emergent ‘thematic node’ for exploring the relation of languaging and bodying: How does languaging affect bodying? How does bodying affect languaging? How does movement inform wording? How does wording inform moving? How can we explore ways for languaging/bodying with, through and from sensing and somatic practices? How to find wording and worlding for the polyphonies of somatic experiences? scores - notations - situations – conditions Initiated through the mutual witnessing of shared resonances and affinities during Convocation II, we conceived this ‘node’ as an emergent framework for experimenting together, for sharing embodied practising, for testing possibilities for a bodily becoming of language/words. Since November 2023, we have been meeting online to explore how we might create shared conditions and situations for practising body/languaging, both through being-with (online) and being-apart (offline). Currently, our shared exploration unfolds through the rhythm of rotation, an evolving constellation of ‘pairings’ and ‘proposals’ based on a bi-monthly cycle. For each bi-monthly iteration, a pairing (two of us working together) devises a score/proposal/invitation/focus which we then all collectively test, enact, activate, reconnecting together after a period of practice (1 month) for sharing materials / findings / discoveries / reflections from the shared research process. Being in doing. Being in practice together. Body/Language. Between the two, activating the between. Moving between different modalities, shifting from one to the other. Tilting towards. Along-siding.

Sometimes you know, the pleasure of no,
listening and listing, right on cue
between waves, slides
sunlight and taste of brine
yes the skin,
minor, ordinary things

Moving between practice-sharing, research-reporting, and poetic reading, The WITHING Sessions is a series of six episodes broadcast between October 2025 and March 2026 on radio WORM.

The WITHING Sessions seeks to extend our process-based research into a sonic form.
Each episode invites listeners to dive into the practice of WITHING, to linger with it and to take part in iterations that blur writing into sounding, scoring into performing, and the other way around.
