Sound & Body – A Presentation with Rachel Gill

Presentation
of the Sound & Body seminar at the ABK Stuttgart

Rachel Gill, in collaboration with the students of the ABK Stuttgart, present process-based improvisations from the Sound & Body seminar. The presentation explores improvisation as a practice of devotional presence, yielding to what is unknowable as a generative space of encounter across the ambiguous terrain of movement. The practice acts as a porous record, where material moves from bodies to voices to image and back again, a feedback loop born of its own ephemerality. A fanzine produced alongside the course serves as a poetic archive of the group’s process and as a resource for others to begin their own improvisation practice.
