Dialogue in Creative Practice

techne DTP

Bringing together interdisciplinary artists, filmmakers and academic researchers, this event explores the processes that underpin dialogue.

All too often we imagine dialogue as a language based practice, rooted in semantic exchange fraught with hegemonic power relations and assumptions. This one-day event departs from traditional ideas of dialogue and asks how we can think about dialogue differently, opening up alternate routes of listening, engaging, being and becoming with others across degrees of difference. The event features dialogues with the creators of four diverse artistic projects that place creative dialogue and alternative listening practises at the centre of their process. Exploring dialogue with other humans, buildings, water, land and animals, we will ask how these creative practices allow us to actively reimagine dialogue through engaging with alternative ways of listening.Considering how we might be accountable to live together less violently, we ask, how are we listening? and how might we listen less violently to others? Thinking about dialogue as a creative process of listening to others opens up alternative knowledge rooted in listening, feeling and materiality. Is it possible to engage in a dialogue that is open, ethically oriented and reciprocal? What power relations emerge from these creative dialogue practices? Are we brave enough to enter into those spaces, to inhabit and even become them in order to listen deeper? What do we need to let go of in order to hear the other? What - or how - do we become in the creative dynamic of dialogue and listening?***Schedule9:00 - 9:30 | Welcome &amp; Cellular Dialogue9:30 - 10:30 | With Voice: Trauma &amp; Dialogue Abi Weaver with Dr Daniele Rugo and Farah WardaniThis session explores the grass-root theatre and film work of ‘Memory from the Margins’.
