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:
http://igorandmoreno.com/calendar/
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 (http://www.s-ala.com/) and members of the Cultural Advisory Board of British Council Italy.

26 GIU 2023 · Anne Bourne
With experience in international intermedia performance and recording, composer/artist Anne Bourne (based in Tkaronto) creates emergent streams of cello, piano and field recordings. Anne facilitates environmental listening through the text scores and listening practice of Pauline Oliveros and walking. A Chalmers Fellow, Anne explores equanimity, microtonal sound, listening and the wave patterns of water.
I met Anne during the workshop Creative Composition at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Canada, and had the opportunity of collaborating with her at the Venice Biennale for the sound installation Cassini’s Dream created by the artist China Blue. What stroked me from the moment I start to be with Anne in the same room, creating (and also not, just chatting and giggling) is her presence and presence to the sound, the one already present and the one created, as she composes the aliveness of the present moment, with the environment and I have been a witness of how this fine attunement changes not just the whole quality of the room, but also the listener.
‘What is heard is changed by listening and changes the listener..’

18 MAG 2022 · Robert Kocik's new course called “Prosody and the preciousness of life” holds the intention to call everyone together - a problematic endeavour that he argues involves spiritual practice.
Robert talked about the power of intonation and the medicine inside of it, the use of rhythm and tone, and the composition of poetry, pitch, intensity, "strofas", stanza, and junctions, which make the dynamic art of prosody. We talked about the cause and effect, the power of creativity and prosody to prevent, levitate, and contravene history, and forecasting effects that haven’t happened yet. Paraphrasing Denise Ferreira Silva in Toward a Black Feminist Poethic calls, reality is "marked by virtuality," held by the capacity to contravene the determinacy of efficient causation”.
Hence the possibility to use tone, pitch, pause, rhythm, and gesture to create beneficial action in the world, with and for others through prosody, the white magic that holds the potential to counterbalance the “efficiency algorithm” that is suffocating the world, counteracting with the inefficacy of the art forms.
“Magic has been perceived as a threat because it is based on organic interconnectedness, the aliveness of all things, the experience of cosmos as part of nature, the indivisibility of "man" and nature, and the doctrine of macro-and microcosmic homology, the conspiracy of all things”.
(Kocik R., Tantra 2: prosody and cause and effect, https://www.robertkocik.com/_files/ugd/c5c021_ed0c23302802401382ea6c8a696cbc78.pdf)
The last question arises… Robert, what do we need to hear now?
We should be hearing… hearing.
Hearing the unstruck sound, the sound that nothing causes, that gave birth to the cosmos.

In 2006, he started to work collaboratively with choreographer Daria Faïn, Kocik initiated a new field of research called the Prosodic Body, an experiential artscience that collectively explores prosody: the tone, tempo, intensity and total body language of speech. In 2008 he cofounded The Commons Choir, a multi-lingual/racial/generational performing group that draws on the findings of the prosody research and presents socially charged operatic and educational events.

Laura Colomban speaks with the disruptive technologist John Collins, founder of Innovation Foundry, a company which support business and individuals to identify new technology trends and create opportunities for collaborative innovation.
John has a fast and exceptional intelligence, he is PhD in Nuclear Physics and microelectronics besides having a passion for dance performances, theatre and cultural events, where you would probably meet him when he is not working.
Today I let you enter right in the mist of our conversation, which started talking about vibrating materials, sound waves and vibrating bodies.
We talked about bodies as mass of photons, vibrations of sound and light are absorbed into the environment, they transform but do not disappear.
We are all connected with some wave form and are connected to environments and animals like a huge microchip and doing less as human beings is necessary now. We need to take into consideration the feedback from the planet to increase the design of how we operate, being more constructive about how we use resources on the earth, to balance the process of taking and giving back to earth.
Then the question is: how can we interfere constructively in the environment?
I was struck by his sentence: 'data is the new plastic'.
The amount of energy involved in shooting and editing a IG picture is equal as the energy involved in creating a plastic bottle.
We started to imagine a software that could recycle data back to electricity, to balance the production of data everyone is responsible for. We talked about Cybernomics (cryptocurrencies and how much energy is involved in exchanging and creating them), remote working and the use of resources used during the lockdown period. Electricity and power utilised to be in a Zoom calls are overstimulating the system, the amount of resources we are utilising is unbalanced compared to the resources we return to the earth.
Lockdown and the distancing has created a sort of geometrical order in the world, less people spread apart, ordered in space like a crystal lattice: the geometry of it, goes towards order, low energy state can be seen as a new hyper normal.
If we go on this way, by 2050 half of the energy of the world will be used on streaming if we go at the current rate.
What are the ethical considerations of streamed events and compulsive usage of data?

17 OTT 2021 · In this conversation recorded in May 2020, Laura Colomban and Florence Peake talk about assumptions in a white-based somatic world, and through the topic of vibrating materials, move on to talk about the idea of penetration and infection of bodies as a place of desire.
We continued exploring assumptions around audience participation, intentions as felt vibratory matter in the room, telepathy as technology, sexuality and flesh, channelling concerns as a way to process with the audience in a performative platform.
I met her during the MFA Creative Practice at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, and she touched me deeply as a person and artist, I hope you will enjoy our talk.

Florence Peake is a London-based artist who has been making solo and group performance works intertwined with an extensive visual art practice since 1995.
Presenting work internationally and across the UK in galleries, theatres and the public realm, Peake is known for an approach that is at once sensual and witty, expressive and rigorous, political and intimate.
Peake produces movement, interactive sculpture, paintings that use the whole body’s physicality, text, film and drawings which respond and intercept each other to articulate, extend and push ideas. Peake’s work explores notions of materiality and physicality: the body as site and vehicle of protest; the erotic and sensual as tools for queering materiality; the subjective and imagined body as a force equal to those that move in our objective flesh-bound world.
