Line. Bridge. Body is inviting 3-5-page submissions for a publication on somatic praxis (images included) by December 2nd, 2019

 

The project was initiated in the summer when more than a dozen writers, performers, and artists, held workshops at Majlis Art Garden.

 

We are extending the invite to others in the publication phase and would like to hear from you. 

​

The project focuses, but is not limited to, four areas of exploration: psychosomatic themes, including disability, sound and the listening body, eco-performance, and sensoria. All deal with embodiment, movement, relationality, sense of place, and ecological connection, from a variety of perspectives. Such explorations engage multiple media and are practice oriented. 

​​

Confirmed contributors include Shannon Bell, Miggy Esteban, Mitchell Akiyama, Csenge Kolozsvari, Lo Bil, Teresa Ascencao, Heather Sincavage, DENISPÉ.

​

You are invited to submit a piece on the mentioned or other themes touching on the subject:

​​

-relational somatics, movement, explorations of space-time, duration, memory, process, the life of lines, experience of place, nomadicity, (im)migration

-embodied senses (i.e. touch), synesthesia, sensoria, sensation, non-linguistic communication, and sense (i.e. felt-sense)

-somatics and identity,

performance art, improvisation and experimentation in the arts (i.e. music, listening, and movement)

-ecological mourning, eco-performance, relationship with nature and/or nonhuman life

-bodies and surface, skin, without organs, technology, augmentation

-bodies as sites of transgression, in revolt, resistance, decolonization of the senses and sensoria

-psychosomatic considerations, trauma, critical disability

-critical and culturally diverse approaches to embodiment

 

We invite artists to submit work done with a variety of media, including, music, dance, performance art, theatre, film and photography. The submission should be single spaced, Times New Roman, Chicago style, and include a Bibliography within the page count. You may submit entries in English or French.
