Dance/Archive. Mediterranean corporeality in touch

Trespassing into the complex Mediterranean cartography, in the present historical and geopolitical conjuncture, new choreographic configurations emerge, translating the current political tension in poetical performance acts. Crossing the Mediterranean as a real and imaginary space of intervention for the activism and experimentation of contemporary performance practitioners; the archive serves as a dispositive for researching new forms of corporeality. The paper aims to compose an archival exercise in order to retrieve, transmit and disseminate examples of "con-tacts" between the Mediterranean corporealities. Touch/Touching here becomes the privileged 'sense' for understanding, and archiving, alternative sensorial modes of inhabiting the Euro-Mediterranean region, and manifest the compelling desire of choreographing new practices of hospitality.
