Many thanks to the artist Emma Waltraud Howes for her online lecture kNew Baroque and discussing the works of our participants within the Studio Program at BAI | Berlin Artist Residency, Art School, Arts Incubator, and Live Online Courses & Classes.
“In her lecture kNew Baroque, dancer and visual artist Emma Waltraud Howes will introduce her interdisciplinary practice as one example of how to embrace the depths and breadth of one’s practice. Taking embodied knowledge as a leaping off point, Howes will illustrate how incremental shifts in perception and intention can accumulate to produce exciting and exhubeRANT effects. After the lecture, individual studio visits will elaborate on how to generate materials from your own embodied experience.” (Text by courtesy of Emma Waltraud Howes)
Emma Waltraud Howes (b. 1976 in Toronto, Canada, lives in Berlin) works as a translator between movement and form. Her interdisciplinary works are informed by her background in dance, performance theory, and the visual arts, and guided by observations of gestures. Howes focuses on the development of an expanded choreographic practice incorporating public interventions, kinaesthetic and architectural research, and an underlying drawing component in the form of graphic scores for performances.
