In her presentation, Stina will turn to a practice of remembering in order to share ideas, movements and stories that have passed through her choreographic practice. In a trail of associations a story appears, weaving the personal and the professional into a web of people and practices. Sometimes she is dancing about work, sometimes just working on a dance.
In this danced and spoken presentation, Alesandra Seutin opens the doors to her choreographic research project Ceci n’est pas Noire, an inquiry into the fluidity of identity through movement, voice, and sound.
On stage, the body, voice, and live sound become witnesses and storytellers, revealing how personal and collective memories intertwine to shape the identity of an Afropean woman. The presentation exposes a physical and sonic language in constant negotiation between African heritage and European realities, where spoken word, singing, and instrumental textures trace invisible lineages.
This research-in-progress invites the audience to experience the creative process as it unfolds: a layered exploration where traditional instruments meet loop stations, monologues blend with movement, and the performer’s body acts as both archive and amplifier. The underlying approach lies in generating a living, hybrid identity through the interdependence of body, sound, and memory.
