ToneDance – audiovisual motifs – JULE FLIERL

Training


DESCRIPTION/

We will explore, practice and question our voices as invisible limb of the dancing body. The practice will center round the larynx and nervous system as crossroad between voice and movement. Jule Flierl will propose movement and vocal motifs and invite the participants to travel through various ways of doing and composing with these elements. It trains the cognitive process of generating audiovisual material in the dancing body. The term ToneDance was invented by avant-garde dancer Valeska Gert in the 1920’s, in which she conceptualized a new genre of dance, to dance with ones’ voice. Jule Flierl has dedicated her research into Gert’s ToneDances, continues writing the fictional genealogy of ToneDance and proposes a contemporary practice that is fed by influences like release technique, Butho, Lichtenberger Method for functional voicing and experimental choreographic practices.

 


BIO/

Jule Flierl is a dance and voice artist from Berlin. She develops practices that conceive of the voice as a dancer, translating dance into the auditory realm. Her practice lives between experimental choreography and somatic singing methods, in which she develops scores to unsettle the relationship between seeing and hearing. Flierl collaborates with choreographer Antonia Baehr “Die Hörposaune” live / film (2022) and ToneDance artist Irena Z. Tomažin “U.F.O. – Hommage to Katalin Ladik” (2021). Her works “School of Attunement and Tactlessness”(2022) and “Time out of Joint”(2023) develop grotesk bodies and dissonant collectives. Jule graduated from SEAD- Salzburg, holds an MA in choreography at EXERCE Montpellier and is a certified teacher of the somatic voice method “Lichtenberger Methode”.
