Speculative Perceptions. In this class, we will delve into a perceptual and speculative practice of embodiment and dancing. By using imagination, images, and physical instructions, we will create structures and surroundings to see how they stimulate our perception. Further, we will work with the senses and with sensemaking, looking for where they intersect and what they perform.
We will begin the class by working with a combination of mobility, breathwork, strength training, attention, and movement meditation. These focal points will be combined into exercises to warm up the body. From there, we will work with combinations of movement sequences to explore perception and attention in various ways through the material.
Rosalind Goldberg is a choreographer based in Oslo. She holds a PhD in artistic research from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Oslo, with the title: Choreography as a meaning-generating aggregate. Rosalind’s work explores processes of change and is characterized by a physical and conceptual approach to choreography, where the entanglement of the two directs the process. Central in her work is the question of what we can expect from the body - to what extent the body can change, and what sides of the body we hide away from. She is interested in the unknown, uncomfortable, leaking, fantastic sides of bodily life and explores the murky water where biology and notions of the body are rubbing against each other. Drawing on inspiration from neurobiology, philosophy on plasticity, new materialism, and notions around the unknown, she creates practices to challenge the habitual in the dancer as a method to stir around with the body’s representation on stage.
Rosalind’s latest productions are, DIM (2025), DARK DYNAMITE (2022), The Field (2020), Rut (2018), Still Life (2018), Immunsystemet (2017), Jump with me! (2016), MIT (2013), Fake Somatic Practice (2011), Suites with Rosalind Goldberg (2010), A section of falling (2008).
