SONOROUS DANCES AND REVERBERANT MATTERS – ARTISTIC RESEARCH PROJECT, 2025-2026

Since 2018, Tender Motor has been exploring the connection between voice, body and movement through choreographic methods. “Motor” comes from the Latin ‘movere’ meaning “to move” – the one or the thing that sets something in motion. In the work, the voice is as much a motor of movement as the body. Through a variety of approaches and methods, the group investigate how we can connect with and release different sound bodies at the intersection of voice, breath and choreography. 

In the research project “Sonorous dances and reverberant matters” we want to investigate the voice as a performative force that affects both the inner and the outer reality, through manifestations of new relationships, affective associations and sensory experiences. We want to explore and deepen our existing working methods through encounters with new spatialities and artistic exchanges. The research project also includes ways to develop our documentation and how to share our practice and research with a wider audience.

The research project has up til now been presented within SKH research week (2025 and 2026) and within The International Deleuze and Guattari studies conference at Konstfack (2025).
