We invite dancers, performers, somatic practitioners, and artists who explore movement as a mode of inquiry to share their methodologies, practices, and perspectives. The symposium seeks to explore new ways of knowing and creating through the the somatic experience. The body, as the means through which we are in the world, is always under a process of becoming. Beyond it's materiality, it constitutes a site of identity and is in relation to others and to sociopolitical and cultural dynamics. Following the body asmethodology, it foregrounds embodied experience as a way to reconsider dominant narratives, attending to how the body disrupts norms, reorients perception, and reconfigures structures and processes.

We welcome proposals that engage with, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• Movement as a way of knowing, thinking, and meaning-making

• Practice-based and process-oriented approaches

• Movement and somatic practices grounded in process rather than form

• Relations between body, space and architecture

• Interdisciplinary research

We invite formats such as lectures, performative lectures, workshops, performances or other experimental proposals. Following the symposium, a digital collection of the presentations will be developed and shared across academic and artistic contexts in Malmö and internationally. The symposium will take place at STPLN on the 27th and 28th of June, 13.00-17.00 CEST and participation is free of charge
