Ingrid Cogne (FR) and Julien Ochala "research"
Ingrid Cogne, choreographic artist based in Stockholm, makes artistic proposals in the dance field related to artistic, political and social contexts where she finds herself in. Interested by the notion of process, she questions, problematizes its relation to the audience. In her artistic process, Ingrid is studying the concept of meeting under various aspects. In the project ”research”, Cogne is working together with Julien Ochala, scientist in Neurophysiology at the University of Uppsala. His main interest is the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for Myopathies (immobility, muscle diseases). The proposal “research” is Ochalas first appearance as a performer. “research” aims at giving an eye on the use of the term research to describe an activity. “research” is the testimony of the meeting between two disciplines through the meeting between two individuals who move in different worlds. With the placement of Julien in an artistic context, Ingrid also proposes her eyes on the meeting between Dance, Movement and Choreography.
