In the residency Emilie, Maria Ines and Kerstin have focused on links between their artistic practices, and common denominators on questions of documentation. Discussions of their body of work in relation to documenation led to formulating questions, which in turn led to scores. In Mud The Dance they will offer some of their scores for participatory experimentation, contextualized by the worlds they imagined together in the residency.

Emilie Gallier (FR /UK) is a choreographer and a researcher (www.post-cie.com). Primary concerns of her work are: the relation between people, how do we script our lives and what scripts us. She makes slightly participatory performances designing landscapes for performers to evolve and for the audience to actively contemplate and read. Her current PhD research within C-DaRE at Coventry University asks: what happens in dance performances when the audience is reading?
