Radio-Choreography: Acts of Transmission overcomes the boundaries of sound art, choreography, performance and radio. The project takes the form of a performative sound exhibition. It invites the public to recalibrate their senses and listen to dance, diasporic body memories, and transgenerational embodied knowledge.
The project centres around a multichannel sound installation interweaving sounds of Jewish-Moroccan dance, blessings for fertility in Judeo-Arabic and choreographic poetry. During the timeframe of the exhibition the installation is activated with a series of performative interventions, live radio broadcasts, workshops and listening acts in public space. Offering multiple ways of participation and encounter with the work, the project claims new spaces of resonance for bygone dance and healing practices, re-writing a history of female Jewish-Muslim solidarities.
