Bodies are much used to display projections of and implement fantasies and norms of productivity and optimization. In their respective artistic practices, choreographers Raquel Meseguer and Jeremy Wade disclose and destabilize these dynamics of inclusion and exclusion. In dialogue with Sandra Noeth and Anna Wagner, they discuss how performatively reworking how to move in space, time and imagination opens up different ways for a body to participate both in society and in the art market.

Biography
Jeremy Wade
Jeremy Wade is a performer with an extensive practice of curating and teaching. He graduated from the School for New Dance Development, Amsterdam, in 2000 and received a Bessie Award for his performance Glory, at Dance Theater Workshop, New York City, in 2006. Since then he works in close collaboration with HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin as well as Gessnerallee, Zurich. In his recent work, Wade explores death, zombie subjectivity, strange modes of being and feminist strategies of world making to undermine the social codes that define and oppress bodies. He is the initiator of “The Future Clinic for Critical Care”, an intersectional platform exploring the messy politics of care through performance, social practice and sociocultural animation.
Biography
Sandra Noeth
Dr. Sandra Noeth, professor at HZT Berlin, has been active internationally as a curator and dramaturge in both independent and institutional contexts. As Head of Dramaturgy and Research at Tanzquartier Wien (2009-2014), she developed a series of research and presentation projects on concepts and practices of responsibility, religion, integrity and protest in relation to the body. Her curatorial and scientific research focusses especially on ethical and political perspectives toward body-practice and theory (see ‘Violence of Inscriptions’, a project on bodies under structural violence, with A. Zaides, 2016-18, HAU Hebbel am Ufer) and dramaturgy in the body-centred performing arts. She co-edited several books on the topics such as ‘Bodies of Evidence: Ethics, Aesthetics, and Politics of Movement’ (2018, with G. Ertem, Passagen) and the periodical ‘SCORES’ (2010-16, with Tanzquartier Wien). Her PhD (2018) deals with the entangled experience of the border and of collectivity in artistic work from Lebanon and Palestine (‘Resilient Bodies, Residual Effects’, forthcoming with transcript in 2019).
