Join a workshop on eco-screendance, where you get the opportunity to learn how screendance can expand ones way of sensing the environment surrounding us, led by Davide De Lillis, guest at the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory this spring.
This workshop connects artistic practice, embodied perception, and environmental reflection. It offers participants a space to question the role of the moving image and the body in shaping ecological awareness. Combining short theoretical inputs with somatic exercises and audiovisual exploration, the workshop focuses on the relationships between body, landscape, and the more-than-human. Participants will be introduced to key ideas in screendance and ecocriticism while engaging in practical experiments.
The aim is to investigate how screendance can contribute to ecological thinking and to expand ways of sensing and understanding the environment.
For those who joined the first workshop in March, this is an opportunity to share, go further, and—guided by your questions and interests—expand the processes that have already emerged; for newcomers, it offers a way into the practice through embodied and hands-on experiences.
Davide is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and Feldenkrais practitioner, currently a PhD candidate at Roma Tre University and the Accademia Nazionale di Danza (Italy) in the programme Cultures, Practices and Technologies of Cinema, Media, Music, Theatre and Dance. He holds an MA in Choreographing Live Art from the University of Lincoln (UK) and a postgraduate degree in Environmental Humanities from Roma Tre University.
At the Environmental Humanities Laboratory at KTH, he will further develop his doctoral project, which investigates how representations of nature in screendance can contribute to ecological discourse. During his stay, he will work on the theoretical framework of the project and on the development of an experimental screendance work as part of his practice-based research. He will also facilitate a workshop aimed at fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between artistic research and environmental humanities.
