SUMMARY:Starting Points: Artistic practice in a changing world - Sussex Dan
 ce Network\, Brighton
DESCRIPTION:\nA Sussex Dance Network event\n\n\n\nAn exploration into ident
 ity\, the senses\, and how culture shapes what we see. Two choreographers 
 reveal their practice and approach\, and how the choreographic form itself
  encourages us to look differently.\nAmy Toner\nAfter graduating with a fi
 rst class degree at the University of Chichester\, Amy has continued to de
 velop her practice as a choreographer and performance-maker. Her practice 
 is concerned with composing sensory situations in collaboration with the s
 eemingly less significant senses of smell\, taste and touch. In developing
  this practice she had the opportunity to collaborate with the city compan
 y of Amsterdam\, ICKamsterdam\, under the co-ordination of choreographers 
 Emio Greco and Pieter C Scholten. The collaboration was centred around the
  Sensorium Toolkit project which aimed to create a dance experience based 
 on four sensorial inputs (smells\, texts\, sound and illustrations). Curre
 ntly\, Amy is undertaking research that questions the visual medium of dan
 ce.\nEve Zandi\nEve Zandi is a French dancer and choreographer living in P
 aris. Trained in Ballet and contemporary dance techniques\, she has worked
  with choreographers such as Lenio Kaklea\, Benoit Bertrand\, Compagnie M'
 Bolo\, Compagnie de l'Altar\, Satchie Noro..\nIn 2015\, she completed her 
 Master of Philosophy at the Sorbonne University in Paris. Soon after\, she
  was awarded a scholarship by the Indian government to learn Kathak dance 
 at the National Institute in New Delhi\, where she studied the musicality 
 and aesthetics of Kathak\, that which she has since incorporated in her wo
 rk. In 2017\, she received a Star Award in the UK to organise dance worksh
 ops in deprived areas.\nShe currently teaches Kathak and Ballet in Paris a
 nd she considers teaching as an essential part of movement research. She c
 an work in French and in English. Her work involves a pluridisciplinary ap
 proach such as the use of photography and social sciences.\nAbout Amy's wo
 rk:\nBeneath Her Eyes\, originally commissioned by the Stedelijk Museum Am
 sterdam\, is a physical and olfactory response to F.T Marinetti's poem\, 
 Ritratto Olfattivo di una Donna (1932) (Olfactory Portrait of a Woman). M
 arinetti's futurist art work describes a portrait of a women through scent
 \, rejecting visual aesthetics. Inspired by Marinetti's rejection\, Benea
 th Her Eyes\, upturns the visual perception of the female body on stage an
 d explores notions of beauty\, the male gaze and the olfactory body of a w
 oman.\nAbout Eve's work:\nOffbeat is a performance for one dancer based o
 n a research on the controversy of manspreading. Manspreading is the conce
 pt that defines a man's habit of spreading legs apart in public transports
 . It has been regarded as a form of gender domination. The research draws 
 from the question of the perception of genders through body postures and i
 ntend to tackle its political underlignment. What is a masculine posture? 
 What body parts are involved in the portrayal of feminity? What are the el
 ements of a dominant or a withdrawn presence?\nOffbeat is the first piece
  of a photo-graphic trilogy of performances researching the concept of nor
 m. It sets its focus on the way social norms are embedded in our bodies. T
 hree different conditions of norms are studied: the ordinary context (Offb
 eat)\, the non-ordinary (Jolt)\, the bizarre (title to come)\, thus formin
 g a composition at the junction of dance and social sciences.\n\n
