BODIES OF RESISTANCE
Digital performance research · collective project
Bodies of Resistance was developed during a research residency at HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin by an interdisciplinary collective working across performance, choreography, visual arts, music and technology.
The project investigated the body as a site of political resistance and collective memory, asking how embodied practices could be translated into digital environments through interactive performance and online participation.
The research resulted in an experimental online prototype combining historical material, body-awareness practices, audiovisual works and non-linear digital pathways designed to activate the spectator as a participant.
