In this seminar, four dance artists and pedagogues tell about their work with people with special needs and especially with people on the autism spectrum and with learning disabilities.
Saša Asentic (DE/Ser),
Trude Cone (USA/NL),
Sally Davison (UK/FI) and
Liisa Pentti (FI) are performance and dance artists who have an interest in opening up artistic practices and developing corporeal working methods together with different groups. Each speaker has a wide and diverse working history with neurodiverse people and people with disabilities.
Through what kind of means is it possible to encourage the process of agency, independency and creativity in a person with autism or learning difficulties through choreographic practices? How is corporeality present in the work and how do these processes support the everyday life of a person with these disabilities? Each of the four speakers present their experiences after which the participants have a chance to ask questions and discuss the topic. The seminar is facilitated by Head of Zodiak’s Engagement
Katja Kirsi.
The seminar is organised by Liisa Pentti +Co, Zodiak – Center for New Dance and Goethe-Institut Finnland.
