Movement

Concert, dance, recital, festival, rave, party… These are ways we call that moment when we come together around and through music. Daggering, voguing, twerking, pogo, waacking, moshing, popping, stage diving, b-boying, headbanging… These refer to the ways we move to the rhythm. If music builds us up as individuals while creating a community, as Simon Frith and Jacques Attali say, what kind of individuals and community give rise to music today?

In this session, we will listen to sound-music beyond rhythms or melodies, we will see the deconstruction of a rock or pop concert, enjoy a collective remixing of music that comes to us from the diaspora, and there will also be bodies describing movements with no beginning or end.
