Eleanor Bauer: Writing From and Through Dancing
A talk and screening of Nora the Many, a film by dancer, choreographer and researcher Eleanor Bauer.
Eleanor Bauer (US/SE) is a dancer, choreographer and researcher at Stockholm University of the Arts, Institute of Dance & Research Centre. As part of her artistic-practice-based PhD in Choreography at Stockholm University of the Arts (choreo | graphy, completed Spring 2022), Eleanor Bauer worked with collectively authored speculative fiction (coined “Sensual Journalism”) as a means of writing from and through dancing in a way that emphasizes the shared world-making of dancing together. Through a number of collective dancing-writing practices unfolded in her PhD research, primarily with the London based collective Nora as well as with a group of dancers and choreographers gathered for her research under the moniker Coven Press, Bauer co-created and edited both a novella and a film called Nora the Many. In this seminar and screening, Bauer will share the artistic research background, concerns, and methods that brought Nora the Many to be, followed by a screening.
