Thinking with Adesola Akinleye

See

Adesola is a research fellow working with Theatrum Mundi since 2019. In the first phase of her research, Adesola has been looking at the emerging vocabulary that connects ideas within dance-making in choreography and city-making. Chasing Stillness, Lingering in dwelling/Residing in wandering, and Temporality of Place: tempo reality of Place are threads Adesola uses to express spheres of inquiry into the inter-connectedness of Being-in-Place.

These threads have crystalized in Phase Two of Adesola’s fellowship to an exploration of:
~ The Art of infrastructure
~ Stillness and silence (When-ness)
~ Choreography as questioning the knowable
~ How collaboration nurtures mutual changes in-relationship to subject based foundational knowledges. 

In this interview we revisit notions of stillness in movement, visibility and identity emerging through the choreography of bodies in cities.
