Resonating knowledges is a research project that I developed from my research on processes of composing-performing, which investigates non-linear temporalities in the interweaving of the performative arts. In this context I’m interested in how these processes are interconnected with queer, feminist and gender-non-conforming aesthetic designs.

A first milestone was the workshop / symposium Gender on Stage in 2018, organized and curated together with Dr. Katharina Rost and Dr. Rainer Simon. Academic researchers and artists discussed gender relations on and beyond the stages of German theatres, opera houses and concert halls. The workshop and the related publication Staging Gender (transcript 2019) was funded by the Programme for Gender and Diversity at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Resonating knowledges takes the project to another plane by shedding light on the researcher’s position and practices. Projects with innovative realizations of the composing-performing relation are often connected to forms of artistic research (whether labelled as such or not). This challenges the usual relation between researcher and artist(s), which is why new relational models need to be designed.

This research was continued within the framework of Pia Palme’s On the fragility of sounds-Project at the University of Music and Performing Arts (KUG), Graz, Austria. Starting from an advisory position, I later joined the team for moderating panels of the ongoing lecture series and co-editing the book project Sounding fragilities.

Questions about practices of writing as research were explored during several residencies at Radical House, Brussels, Belgium. The investigation of practices continued a common interest with Heike Langsdorff, Alex Arteaga, Miriam Rohde, Laetitia Gendre, Klaas Devos, Anouk Llaurens, Fransien van der Putt and others, which took shape with the symposium and publication … Through Practices at KASK Gent in October 2019.

On behalf of the network meeting On process in 2022, I accompanied the groups, collectives and associations youarewarmlyinvited, Geheime Dramaturgische Gesellschaft, Tanznetz Dresden and Flugwerk using my practice of poetic recording to observe and to record the processes of exchange.
