Rhythm & Movement
Alina Saggerer
Comments
What is rhythm and how is it connected to bodies and movement? We find rhythm not only in music, but also in everyday life. Today, everyday rhythm is deeply entangled with labor and productivity also it is not only an element of audible art but also important for any other art form.
This course critically examines and discusses concepts of rhythm and rhythmanalysis from musicological, sociological and cultural perspective. We begin with theoretical investigations, reading texts by Henri Lefebvre, Julian Caskel, Inge Baxmann and others. How have ideas and concepts of rhythm developed? What cultural, technological, and political forces have shaped them? How can rhythm be experienced, described and analyzed? In the second part of the course, we start to explore rhythm more physically. The students will develop their own exercises to experience rhythm in movement and reflect on how these bodily practices inform or challenge theoretical perspectives.
