Sonorous Dances and Reverberant Matters

Since 2018, Tender Motor has been exploring the connection between voice, body and movement through choreographic methods. ‘Motor’ comes from the Latin ‘movere,’ which means ‘to move’ – that which sets something in motion. In their work, the voice is as much a motor for movement as the body. Through a variety of approaches and methods, the group explores how they can connect with and liberate different sound bodies at the intersection of voice, breathing and choreography. In the research project ‘Sonorous dances and reverberant matters’, the group wants to explore the voice as a performative force that affects both the inner and outer reality through manifestations of new relationships, affective associations and sensory experiences. The research is carried out through workshops, studio work, performances and writing.
