Residence Project

This inter-cultural exchange project pursues complementary goals: To transmit practices of interaction between dance and music in open forms and collaboratively develop a piece with local artists, to develop a new piece within the cultural context of Japan as a continuation of their long-term collaboration, and to publicly present outcomes of these processes in performance.

Profile

Swiss artists Jan Schacher (sound artist, interaction technologist) and Angela Stoecklin (dancer, choreographer) work on interaction between the two art-forms where the body can take on the role of a musical instrument and sounds obtain a physical form and expresses motion patterns. By exposing their long-term collaborative series in an intercultural context, issues of interaction and communication are explored on multiple layers.

Past collaborative works include: "sounding bodies-moving sounds" - inter-cultural and inter-disciplinary residencies New Delhi, India and Habana, Cuba; "dense moments-a song cycle" held at Atelier Hermann, Hochdorf and Pantographe, Moutier; and "one hand clapping" in Habana.
