Open Studio: Moving Identities
Liquid Logic (DE)
Liquid Logic is an interdisciplinary artist collective that moves between dance, sound, ritual and futuristic cuteness. The collective works with open bodies, clear impulses and monstrous frequencies. Inspired by eco-queer, post-activist and decolonial theory, they co-create with the ‘more-than-human world’. Spontaneous composition, butoh, voice, sound, modern magic, rituals and club energy characterize the research. Liquid Logic combines physical theater, contemporary dance and situational sound design and abandons classical forms to dream collectively with body and sound. Liquid Logic sees performative art as a practice of resistance: a political spaceship that breaks up patriarchal, colonial and normative structures.
In October, Liquid Logic is visiting HELLERAU as a local group for a first residency as part of the three-year EU exchange program “Moving Identities” and will provide insights into their research during an Open Studio on 17.10.
