Clothes and Choreography: Wanda Golonka
Wanda Golonka will introduce "The Four states of perception", and talk about transformation/shifts.
The course "Clothes and Choreography - an interdisciplinary research" is a collaboration between two departments at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, the Dance and Design Departments with their group of master students in Choreography and Costume design. The course consists of open lectures and a workshop.
"Clothes and Coreography" explores the boundaries of what is what in the meeting point between the dancer's body movements and clothing. Where does the dancer's body end and where does the clothes begin? What occurs in the fusion between the moving body and the clothes? How does the costume influence our view of the dancer's movement?
With the question What are clothes to dance? - students, teachers, artists and theorists are invited to an interdisciplinary research laboratory spanning over four weeks in the autumn of 2016. The laboratory will be characterized by an investigative attitude and is process oriented. The result is a presentation/ display of the most interesting laboratory discoveries.

Wanda Golonka
Prof. Wanda Golonka was born in Lyon in 1958. She studied classical ballet with Rosella Hightower in Cannes, then contemporary dance at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen. From 1987 to 1991, she worked with Pina Bausch in Wuppertal. In 1985, she founded the avant-garde group NEUER TANZ in Düsseldorf and was its director until 1995. She has been working as a freelance choreographer since 1996. From 2001 to 2009, she was the house director in the management team of the Schauspielfrankfurt. She has been living and working in Berlin since 2010. From 2007 to 2011, she completed a training in Luminous Healing and Shamanic Energy Medicine at The Light Body School USA and at Andinen Q’éros Paqos in Peru. By founding the WAKA (Berlin), she created a space for practice and education in Shamanic Energy Medicine. In her pioneering works between dance, performance, music and text, she dealt with theater material as physical experience. A central component is the sensual and aesthetic discovery of space, which she regularly re-investigates in its perception of bodies and time. Wanda Golonka has been a guest professor at the HZT since the winter semester 2013/2014
