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 Rohan Ayinde and Suley, both based in London. Rohan is part of the first cohort of the Rose Choreographic School, and he is an anadisciplinary artist and poet. Suley is a playwright, painter, lawyer and lecturer who uses world building as a radical tool of investigation.
This conversation was recorded in a studio in London and it was the first meeting between these two artists. They reflect on what world building signifies within their practices, articulating how this concept informs their individual research and methodologies. Together, they examine the convergence of their practices, and how speculative fiction, poetry, collectivity and black holes can function as a lens for understanding and imagining alternative futures.
This episode is part of a new series,Choreographing the Apocalypse, which is guest curated by Mine Kaplangı, a Folkestone-based curator and art mediator from Istanbul.
It forms part of their ongoing research into queer and trans imaginaries of the apocalypse(s). They will be inviting artists, thinkers, and somatic practitioners to explore apocalyptic thinking through speculative world-building and radically intimate frameworks.
