The Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series

“The Interspecies Dance: Confrontation and Choreography with the Animal World” by Karima Borni, Scholar in Residence, Dance Program, Middlebury College

This talk explores the process of communication with non-human species using physical listening, spatial awareness and corporeal clarity in order to develop a shared language of movement. Further, the inquiry examines how this practice can impact our embodiment of the human form as dancers, and how this can lead to a more effective choreographic encounter between ourselves and “others.”
