Embodying Connection

Talk by Kurt Koegel, Ingo Reulecke, Gabriele Reuter, Samarra Gaetana
In the frame of Open Spaces/Sommer Tanz 2017

We invite you to join us for a conversation embracing the themes: How can we become more embodied and present in space? How can we reinforce our own self-agency as we make choices and locate ourselves – in relationship to the spaces we inhabit, the people we interact with, the various feeling states that may exist simultaneously within us? How can we use our skillful navigation of embodied learning situations (the environment of dance and movement research) to nurture the social and political environment we habitate?

This conversation will begin with a short video and will also offer some short participatory experiences.

Kurt Koegel

After dancing in New York City, Kurt lived and worked in Europe from 1988 – 2012, and a member of the Tanzfabrik Company from 1988 - 1994, performing and teaching extensively throughout Europe for festivals, schools and dance companies including Ultima Vez, Rosas, P.A.R.T.S., SNDO, EDDC, SEAD, as well as extensive teaching in Japan and Korea. From 2007-2011 he designed and directed the Masters in Contemporary Dance Pedagogy at the University of Performing Arts (HfMDK) in Frankfurt am Main. Since 2013 he’s been researching how enhancing human perception, embodiment and sustainable interaction can influence how we live in, and design, public space. His intention is to share the work he is doing in the field of dance with emerging architects and designers. www.kurtkoegel.org
