Bare Bodies – Thresholding Life
Following Mariella Greil’s Morning Practice and in anticipation of the workshop Verwerfungen & Faltungen: eine choreo-ethische Assemblage, TQW hosts the book presentation Bare Bodies – Thresholding Life (Angewandte, DeGruyter, Berlin 2024). This anthology is dedicated to bodies in transition, on thresholds, and at the edges of life, discussed in terms of their artistic, political and existential dimensions. The book is an artistic-philosophical exploration of emergence, survival and decay at the intersection of performance and life practices.
With: Mariella Greil (dancer, artistic researcher, editor of the book), Mia Habib (dancer and choreographer), Werner Moebius (sound artist), K.T. Zakravsky (performance artist and philosopher) and Anna Leon (TQW theory)
