CATALYSTS – Somatic Resonance is a choreographic exhibition of somatic body states from the work of Icelandic choreographer Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir. The exhibition is a choreography of Mixed Realty technologies, kinaesthetic algorithms, archival material and live bodies. This work is created by an interdisciplinary team of artists and researchers and is an intervention into the tensions and potential of current digital cultures. It participates in ongoing discussions around the expanded choreographies of interconnectivity of mediated bodies, healing, feminism, notions of energetic citizenship, AI and the pathology of the wider social-political body within our own bodies. The resonant states of the dancers are informed by Guðjónsdóttir’s deep tissue release practice “FULL DROP into the Body”. States of affective potential arise from awakening latent energies over time, across media and flesh, expanding what dance can be and how bodies can remember. Visitors to the exhibition carry the states from this choreographic exhibition outwards, like ripples in collective somatic field. CATALYSTS – Somatic Resonance premièred 24 Feb 2022 at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry, Berlin.
