Listening Practices. Dance and Writing Lab.

Do not assume form. Do not assume content. Do not assume tone. Do not assume circulation, do not assume a libidinal economy. Do not assume the bones. Do not assume listening—do not assume that we already know how to listen. Do not assume touch, in all its ambiguity and in everything it entails, as a way of entering into contact. Do not assume domains, disciplines, or specificities.

This workshop explores listening as a bodily technique, a form of attention, and a way of being present. Using somatic, psychoanalytic, and writing tools, participants are invited to experience ways of listening that go beyond sound: listening to bodies, gestures, materials, and relationships. The practice focuses on perceiving through movement, inhabiting time and space without seeking answers or translations, but rather remaining in the experience.

Josefina Zuain is a dancer, writer, and art history researcher. She leads writing workshops for artists and works as a consultant on projects related to art and related fields. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Buenos Aires and in 2019 successfully completed her Master's degree in Advanced Studies in Art History at the University of Salamanca. She is the editorial director and founder of 2da En Papel Editora, a publishing house specializing in the dissemination, creation, and distribution of dance-related content. In 2009, she created cuadernosdedanza.com.ar (ISSN 22508708), an online platform that archives 15 years of writing about dance, from the perspective of dance.

After the dance workshop, we invite you to stay for the presentation of the book “Investigar modos de investigar” by Josefina Zuain.
