SAVE THE DATE for the dance performance »PULSE« by Mounir Saeed (.v.denhaag), former fellow of the transdisciplinary residency program »Field Trip«. 🗓️
The performance takes place on Friday, July 17 at KULA Konstanz (), as part of the Akademie’s cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior ().
Animals have long served as inspiration for human movement, from martial arts to yoga, and even in ancient cultures where animal motifs were used to symbolize strength and agility. 🐆
In the dance performance »PULSE,« choreographer and performer Mounir Saeed aims to explore the deep connection between animal movements and contemporary dance. By observing and analyzing animal locomotion and behavior, he seeks to enhance his understanding of body articulation and movement, drawing direct connections between the fluidity and instinctive patterns in animals and human dance. The performance was developed by Mounir Saeed as a result of his artistic research in the framework of his »Field Trip« residency at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Konstanz.
The event is organized by the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and Akademie Schloss Solitude in cooperation with KULA Konstanz e.V. It takes place as part of the »Field Trip« residency program, a cooperation between Akademie Schloss Solitude and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Konstanz.
