Narrativas sonoras: cómo contar historias con sonido.
Gesel, a choreographer living in Austin, Texas, walks us through solos that a hip-hop dancer and an expressionist dancer taught her over 10 years ago. "From the Center Out - archiving Black dance in the U.S." is about how a dancer's body remembers and what those memories sound like. During rehearsal, we're transported to scenes from the solos and we experience the stories and emotions driving them.
According to xmtr.fm:
“As Gesel dances, she talks and through her voice we experience her movement in a visceral sometimes uncomfortable way. If you’ve ever wondered how dance could be represented just through sound, this piece does exactly that”.

Noemí Segarra Ramírez is a movement artist and co-founder of artist collective PISO Proyecto who visited The University of Texas at Austin last fall. We interviewed her on foot–walking is one of her artistic practices–and learned why she situates her work at the intersection of social justice and embodied practices.
What does it take for our bodies to relate differently to people or places? In this 10-minute audio story, Noemi shares her thoughts on social justice, somatics, and improvisation techniques in the context of recent states of emergency in Puerto Rico.
