"Practicing Odin Teatret's Archive: Training Transmission, Interaction and Creativity"

In this Transmission in Motion seminar, Adriana La Selva will share the first developments of a collaborative research project which draws on new approaches in Performance Studies concerned with the development of an epistemological framework for studying theatrical training techniques through archival reconfigurations in virtual reality. The aim is to investigate what it means to develop, practice and perform an archive through the activation of Odin Teatret's (DK) embodied legacy in a virtual environment, addressing the translation of technique through Mixed Reality whilst developing dramaturgical approaches to archival practices. 
At the core of this project lies an intense translation chain: from physical and vocal technique to metadata to an immersive textural architecture of archival navigation. Understanding translation as a performative and connective interdiscipline, this presentation engages with embedded embodied knowledge as a tool for investigating the complex web of techniques that link performers to subjectivities, histories, aesthetics, and creativity. This translation chain challenges a rereading of history as a reconfiguration of documents, oral tales, and reconstructions through affective transmissions, where poetic virtual spaces evoke particular intra-actions with knowledge itself.
During the presentation, Adriana La Selva will share audio-visual material from the Motion Capturing sessions and from the (in process) designed virtual translations, and invite the participants to think-with travelling concepts which will inform the navigation of the archive.
This seminar session is an initiative of Mobilizing the Archive: one of the interest groups of Transmission in Motion. The session will be hosted by Laura Karreman, who is also a member of the advising committee of the research project Practicing Odin Teatret’s Archive.
