Structurally, LACE #3: Materialising Touch combines the LACE Symposium and LACE Extended into a 10-day research period for practitioners in performance, dance pedagogy, academia, and related fields.
LACE Symposium, held from 14–18 July 2025, offers a series of deep dives that emphasise the merging of practice and thought through practice. It provides intensive days of meeting, practicing, and creative exchange.
LACE Extended, taking place from 21–25 July 2025, offers Symposium participants the opportunity to extend their time in relation to the deep dive presenters, their practices, and the wider participant community.
This evening opens a week of diving into exploring integration as a complex process. What does it mean to consider integration an essential, creative activity and a central aspect of experience? Frédéric Gies, Rachel Tess and Michael Turinsky will share a performative conversation on their perspectives and approaches to integration in their artistic work. If you enjoy thinking, imagining, sensing, dancing and reflecting – all at once, come join us!
14.7., 18:00

Hosts of the Opening: Deirdre Morris, pavleheidler, Sylvia Scheidl
