When You See Me Again, It Won’t Be Me – Act 1 (2019) - The Grey Space in the Middle

The Grey Space introduced itself for the first time on the 28th of June 2019 with the first act of a symposium, in which the aim was to not only share, but to also facilitate (social) revelation by stimulating the most powerful characteristic of mankind: imagination. The multi-sensory and performative event embraced artistic installations, conversations, a dinner and a performance program.

This edition centered around the interaction between research on dance movements and research on haptic robotics. The symposium included a mini-workshop with Ria Higler (movement researcher, teacher and mentor at School for New Dance Development, Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten) focusing on ‘adaptation’ as a way to train the mind and body to become flexible and versatile by receiving information through the body.

Lyndsey Housden gave a performance in collaboration with composer Ryan Teague and writer and spoken word artist Emily Besa.
