Choreographic Devices V

Choreographic Devices is an itinerant annual research platform dedicated to choreographic and post-dance practices across artistic, discursive and curatorial fields. Since 2022, and against the pressured backdrops of permacrisis and depletion, Choreographic Devices has been testing how bodies, material assemblages, organisational forms and modes of being alongside one another might be choreographed otherwise. Drawing on a broad ecology of practices and bringing together key local and international practitioners, the platform understands choreographic inquiry as extending beyond the event itself into its organisational architectures. Its modular and scalable format moves fluidly between integrated multi-day programmes, screenings, discursive exchanges, workshops and performative gatherings. For its fifth iteration at Mimosa House, Choreographic Devices presents a moving-image programme exploring the choreographic as an expanded methodology for organising relations across bodies, images, perception and time. Selected by friends and allies of Choreographic Devices, the assembled works approach moving image as a site of choreographic inquiry, inviting new ways of sensing, composing and orienting perception across cinematic and choreographic registers.
