þ thorns þ proposes to think with the affordances of postdisciplinarity and the choreographic. This series seeks to set in motion the possibilities of the podcast as choreographic form, score and modality, as well as haptic space for glitch and grain. This series privileges prompts over topics, verbs over nouns, soft tissue over hard tech, and phenomena over “thing”. Importantly, these are open-ended conversation pieces, experimental dialogues, remote contact-improvisations and conceptual playgrounds, not interviews.
Guest speaker pairings are conceived out of radical associativity, where knowledges and non-knowledges, somatic practices and techniques of living are brought into experimental proximity, constellating themselves through intra-action along the way.
As part of the ongoing imagination of the School we are compiling a glossary of words that artists are using to refer to the choreographic. Every time we invite people to collaborate with us we also invite them to donate to the glossary, hosted on our website.

Arjuna Neuman is an artist, filmmaker, and writer who works with the essay form in a multi-perspectival and mobile approach where the ‘essay’ is inherently future-oriented and experimental. Denise Ferreira da Silva is a philosopher, writer and filmmaker, whose practices reflect and speculate on questions crucial to contemporary philosophy, political theory, black thought, feminist thought, and historical materialism. In this episode, Arjuna and Denise plan the next film in their Elemental Cinema series, centred on fire as both combustion and a site for conspiratorial gathering. They discuss their ongoing collaboration, rebellion against the return of fascism, and the necessary optimism of the imagination that can ignite hope in darkened times.
This series is produced and edited by Hester Cant.
The series is co-curated by Emma McCormick-Goodhart and Martin Hargreaves, with concept and direction by Martin Hargreaves and Izzy Galbraith.
