þ thorns þ proposes to think with the affordances of postdisciplinarity and the choreographic. This series seeks to set in motion the possibilities of the podcast as choreographic form, score and modality, as well as haptic space for glitch and grain. This series privileges prompts over topics, verbs over nouns, soft tissue over hard tech, and phenomena over “thing”. Importantly, these are open-ended conversation pieces, experimental dialogues, remote contact-improvisations and conceptual playgrounds, not interviews.
Guest speaker pairings are conceived out of radical associativity, where knowledges and non-knowledges, somatic practices and techniques of living are brought into experimental proximity, constellating themselves through intra-action along the way.
As part of the ongoing imagination of the School we are compiling a glossary of words that artists are using to refer to the choreographic. Every time we invite people to collaborate with us we also invite them to donate to the glossary, hosted on our website.

This episode is a conversation between dancers Kerem Gelebek and Soa Ratsifandrihana. Soa is a Franco-Malagasy dancer and choreographer based in Brussels. And Kerem is from Turkey and based in Paris, France. We’ll hear them discuss how they use the term interpreter in place of that of choreographer or dancer, and how their work integrates personal and cultural archives. They also speak about the challenges of creating work that incorporates their heritage without exoticizing it. You can read a full transcript of this episode and links to resources mentioned here.
This episode is a collaboration with Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels. This initiative supports choreographic heritage, nurtures contemporary creation and engages the widest possible audience in conversations about dance.
