LACE #4: Fractalising Touch

hospitality, integration, & the interstitial JULY 27-31, 2026 at PART Residency made with the support of ImPulsTanz — Vienna International Dance Festival and Erasmus+

LACE #4: Fractalising Touch is the final instalment in a four-year-long arch dedicated to exploring a range of socio-political, professional, artistic, and therapeutic aspects of touch at the intersection of art, academia, and activism. From topography of touch (“the privilege of partial perspective”), through hospitality (“how to encounter accountability with grace”), and integration (“what is the difference between theory and practice), in its final year the symposium turns its soft focus to the interstitial, the state of fluid-in-between.

The interstitial is revealing itself to be about a deeply relational, and deeply responsive way of being in the world. Curators Deirdre Morris, Sylvia Scheidl, and pavleheidler engage with embodied practitioners working across genres to explore themes commonly associated with the interstitial; tensegrity, fascia, emergence, relationality, response-ability, fluid consciousness, fractalization – all of which evidence characteristics of Complex Adaptive Systems.

Contributing to this year’s symposium are:

• Satu Palokangas,
• Stéphanie Janaina,
• Tia Reihana,
• Amaara Raheem,
• Zrinka Šimičić,
• Ella Hillström,
• Olive Bieringa, &
• Kerstin Kussmaul.

Being a practice-based symposium, the LACE Symposium doesn’t simply invite artist-researchers to describe their work or report on their discoveries. At LACE artist-researchers engage everybody in an experiment and disseminate their observation through action.

The LACE Symposium is part of INTERLACE: Art and Action in Contemporary Dance Education, a project funded by the European Union, Erasmus+.

INTERLACE aims to provide dance educators learning environments and peer-to-peer-exchanges for knowledge transfer and for developing inclusive methodologies for teaching creative dance to diverse local communities. Inclusive methodologies are understood as methods and tools aimed at making students feel acknowledged, empowered, and situated in their physical and creative bodies.
