The new research explores sound-making processes as models of dynamic relationships between body, circulation, reverberation, and transmission. Taking the Leslie speaker and Hammond organ as choreographic metaphors, this residency initiates a travelling investigation into the relationships between different musical practices and associated forms of physicality.
Luísa Saraiva is a choreographer, born in Porto, who lives between Porto and Berlin. Her choreographic work explores the language of the body and voice, situated at the intersection of movement and musical composition. She has developed extensive research into Portuguese oral heritage, taking a critical perspective on the relationship between tradition, gender, and power. In recent years, she has led workshops and participated in discussions on mental health in dance. She is co-director of the MULA festival with Cristina Planas Leitão.
