Questions and answers pile up as we reach the end of the three-year artistic research project Sense & Dance.

What can dance and sensory stimuli do?

How far can dance and sensory stimuli go?

Can you make people do anything with the help of smell and taste?

Can dance make the brain indulge?

Can costumes help activate an audience?

Can dance improve architecture?

Do you know when you’re dancing?

What does dance and culture taste like?

And who is to eat it?

Danish and international researchers and specialists

Some of the projects most important collaboration partners give their take on how dance, along with sensory stimuli, can contribute to growth in society, development of individuals, enrich the urban space, include unfamiliar audiences’ etc.

There’ll be speeches from researchers and specialists from: Delft University of technology, Nottingham Trent University, University of Copenhagen, University of Aarhus, Technological Institute of Denmark, Have Communication, ScanScent / UrbanXperience, Varde library as well as Ingrid Kristensen & Co.

The background for the symposium

Three years ago Ingrid Kristensen & Co. began an intense journey into the world of senses and dance

The visions for the artistic research project was to make dance more accessible for unfamiliar audience groups, to democratize the artistic experience and research and explore the elusiveness of dance by experimenting with dance in other formats than the usual.

This is all done with inspiration and new knowledge across aestetic boarders. The Sense & Dance project has helped build bridge and show new ways to create artistic pieces with added value for the artistic environment and society as a general.

The essence of this journey can be experienced at the symposium January 10th.
