DanceOutsideDance is a podcast of interdisciplinary conversations. We consider it an open research forum; a bridging space where we embrace the unresolved. Our investigations engage with diverse modalities and approaches to collaboration, technology and digital media, performance making, relational practice, neuroscience, anthropology and somatics.

We try to listen to what arises in the episodes to cultivate critical thinking and open dialogue.

DanceOutsideDance is artist-led and self-funded and was initiated by Laura Colomban, Michaela Gerussi and Julia Pond. To support the podcast, subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/danceoutsidedance.

Laura Colomban is developing a bespoke cyclical creative process through performance-making which integrates circular methodologies through expanded choreography and auditory investigation, specifically creating sites within sites through voice, movement, and sound groundwork. inhabitingthebody.org/lauracolomban

Julia Pond is investigating embodied practices and modes of being-in-time as pathways to undermining and usurping capitalist structures. Her work also concerns eco-somatics, informed by experience as a direct lineage Duncan practitioner. juliapond.com

Igor x Moreno in conversation with Daniela Perazzo (guest curator) and Julia Pond

Part of the special curated series enDurANCE, curated and guest hosted by Daniela Perazzo, and supported by the Ivor Guest Research Grant and the Race and Gender Matters Research Group at Kingston University, we discuss notions of endurance, perseverance, repetition and what they really require in art and life. Discussing their new work KARRASEKARE (the Sardinian word for Carnival) the conversation probes ideas of what collectivity can offer to duration and asks how cultural traditions can speak to our contemporary world and art.

Keywords:
Endurance, contemporary dance, dance research, perseverance, tradition, carnival

As of publication in September 2023, Igor x Moreno are preparing for new tour dates in 2023/24 across the UK and Europe. All information can be found here:

Igor x Moreno is the name under which the works created by choreographers Igor Urzelai and Moreno Solinas – in collaboration with an extended group of artists – are presented. Igor x Moreno’s works stem from a fascination for people and what makes us such special animals. They use choreography and mostly non-verbal languages to create experiences which can surprise, energise and unsettle. Their works – highly constructed whilst deeply concerned with liveness – visit and escape different genres and styles.Igor x Moreno’s creative processes favour questions over answers, action over narration, communication over expression, alterity over diversity, patience over productivity. They don’t see entertainment as their duty, but as a useful communication tool. They work with rigour and playfulness. They value pointlessness. The team – based across Europe – gathers in Sardinia and London, from where Igor x Moreno’s works have toured extensively in Europe and also in North and South America, Africa and Asia. Awards and recognitions include the Rudolf Laban Award and National Dance Awards and Total Theatre Awards nominations; their works have been selected for Aerowaves (2011, 2013 and 2015), NID Platform, British Council Showcase and British Dance Edition. Moreno Solinas and Igor Urzelai are affiliate artists of The Place (London), co-directors of Sardinian production company S’ALA (www.s-ala.com) and members of the Cultural Advisory Board of British Council Italy.
