BODYNET-KHORÓS. Choral Arts and Embodied Media for Social Plurality and Planetary Health

BODYNET-KHORÓS is a transdisciplinary project on digital and physical artistic experimentation for reinventing the body and relations towards sustainable and plural ways of living. The project builds upon theories of embodied cognition to explore the importance of embodied practices and the challenges posed by a media culture that foregrounds immobility and atrophy of movement and multisensory capacities, also in relation to inclusion. In turn this is done through innovative ways of redesigning physical and digital media so that they allow a rich full body interaction involving collective practices with movement and multisensory integration in open spaces, thus also raising a critical awareness and capacity for creative reappropriation of new media and of space.
