TQW DOC+ 2024/25

Fri 25.04., Fri 16.05., Fri 20.06., 17h, TQW Bibliothek

TQW DOC+ is a monthly interdisciplinary, inter-university forum for theorists on topics concerned with choreography, performance, body, art and politics at Tanzquartier Wien.

A meeting place for PhD and master’s students, theorists who want to distinguish themselves in the field, newcomers and thinkers interested in discursive exchange (with or without a degree). After reading a text together, there will be an opportunity for open debate. In addition, one’s research work can be presented and put up for debate, or new formats can be tested in a safe space. For more information, please contact bibliothek@tqw.at.

Programme:

Fri 25.04., Lecture: Dance Meets Cognitive Science by Monica Delgadillo (Tanz die Toleranz, Caritas), Katy Geertsen (Arts for Health Austria), Christina Regorosa (Central European University)

The working group presents a selection of recent studies demonstrating how dance as a research subject enriches cognitive science. These studies range from fundamental research in ecological test settings to application-oriented studies that prove the positive effects of dance across various population groups.

Fri 20.06., Reading Circle: Jack Halberstam, Parasites and Perverts: An Introduction to Gothic Monstrosity
