Stemming from Pini’s doctoral project ‘Stage presence in dance: a cognitive ecological ethnographic approach’, this project further develops accounts and enactments of presence, embodiment and agency in different artistic forms and cultural contexts.
The project highlights the role of the body in cognition by investigating different dance and performance practices such as Contemporary Dance, Ballet, Contact Improvisation, Body Weather, Screendance–through ethnographic, phenomenological and cognitive ecological frameworks.
