Conflicted Embodiment

A study session

workshop
book presentation
21.04.2024

Together with 15 participants, caterina daniela mora jara delves into her essay Conflicted Embodiment. Notes from Dancing on Both Sides of the Atlantic, published in September 2023. What do 'folklore', 'popular' and 'academic' mean within the different dance contexts of the global North and South? What mother tongues inhabit dance and performance? And what role can translation play? Embracing the complexity of the untranslatable, it explores how 'conflicted embodiment' can be a research tool for how a body navigates through migration, colonialism and dance.

From 2021 to 2023, caterina daniela mora jara was one of workspacebrussels' resident artists. Her trajectory culminated in a publication that inspired this reading group. At home in both academic and folkloric dance, caterina's work questions dominant ways of producing work and the colonial legacy in the representation of Western dance. She is currently a doctoral student at Uniarts / Stockholm University of the Arts.
