Skip to main content
Creative Corporealities
An interdisciplinary research group exploring the body as a source of creative material and notions of embodiment in cultural contexts.
Creative Corporealities has evolved. It is now known as the
Creative Practice and Embodied Knowledge Research Group
.
Creative Corporealities is an interdisciplinary research group that responds to a contemporary revision in notions of humanity, felt both viscerally and intellectually, for which the predominant answer is embodiment and creativity.
We are practitioners and academics working across a wide range of disciplines, based at Bath Spa University, with research themes accommodated under the banner of the
Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries
. Creative Corporealities concerns itself with embodiment as a source of creative practice, with its own causalities and politics. We develop and observe disciplinary practices that engage and affect a body that is generative of creative processes.
We are also on the steering group for the
Research Centre for the Environmental Humanities
, representing performance and arts research.

.
This CCRG artist talk brings together dance artists and scholars Olive Bieringa (NZ/NO) and Minou Tsambika Polleros (AT/UK) to discuss their work with dance and somatic arts processes as critical and collective practices of resistance and care in times of ecological crisis.
Olive Bieringa
reflects on more than two decades of work with the
BodyCartography Project
which aims to engage with the vital materiality of our bodies and minds to create live performance that facilitates a re-enchantment of embodiment, relationship, and presence. They create dance in urban, domestic, wild, and social landscapes. Their work is rooted in experimental dance, somatic and socially engaged practice. Their current project,
Resisting Extinction
, offers practices for living and dying together on a damaged earth. It invites us to not only look forward but to look around and notice what we are losing, to hone our skills and practice embodied knowing to repair our relational field.
Minou Tsambika Polleros
will introduce her work with the arts organisation
art.earth
and their upcoming symposium
Sentient Performativities: Thinking Alongside the Human
(2022). Her outdoor performance practice
homing-in: radical capacities of the sensate
is an ongoing work in outdoor natural environments that activates a mode of sensing - a
Visceral Empathy
- as a potentially remedial practice to the increasing symptoms of environmental apathy, increasing sensory deprivation, the intellectually thought and bodily felt separateness from the rest of the animate world. Her work with the art organisation art.earth creates a platform to investigate the manifold dialogues between the human and natural worlds. The 2022 art.earth symposium investigate how somatic practices can foster embodied ecological awareness and communication between the human and other than human worlds.
Biographies:
Olive Bieringa
is a dance, performance and visual artist working at the intersection of social and creative practice, pedagogy, and healing. She is a teacher, and practitioner of Body-Mind Centering and a program director of Somatic Education Australasia. She collaborates with Otto Ramstad as the
BodyCartography Project
whose mission is to engage with the vital materiality of our bodies and minds to create live performance that facilitates a re-enchantment of embodiment, relationship, and presence. She is a doctoral candidate at the Theatre Academy, Uniarts Arts, Helsinki.
Minou Tsambika Polleros
As dance practitioner, choreographer and Social Sculpture practitioner,
Minou
has been researching the capacity of "visceral empathy" and embodied cognition as essential antidote to an increasing collective disembodiment and separation from an ecological self. She is developing practices for inner and outer homemaking, as processes that cultivate literacy in being viscerally empathetic with what is alive in and around the human experience. Minou is interested in an expanded perspective on the dance practitioner who is actively cultivating connective capacities and choreographic forms, essential in the endeavour to create an embodied system change in both environmental and social arenas. Minou is currently working as art.earth assistant director.
Minou has been a member of the
Institute of the Study of Somatic Communication
steered by Nita Little since 2019. She is passionate about her own arts practice and increasingly aims to create platforms for social, environmental and artistic practice dialogues.

takes us on a mysterious journey of the British Isles and beyond – with its layers, sediments, joys, sorrows and weather!
The show explores the wild within us through quirky movement and dance, vocal-looping, atmospheric soundtrack and five shapeshifting performers.
Directed by Mary Steadman in collaboration with performers Leeza Jessie, Alice Barton, Xavier De Santos, Samuel De La Torre and Sofia Velez, with an original soundtrack by John Baggott.
A PhD practice-based research project, developed
th
rough the lens of Hauntology, this research has led to an investigation of the 'Eerie', as defined by the late cultural theorist Mark Fisher as something where there should be nothing, or, nothing where there should be something (2016). Through an embodied, interdisciplinary methodology, the practice aims to develop a dramaturgy of the eerie in devised performance.
The production has been supported through Bath Spa's QR funding and Bath Spa Productions.

Somatische Akademie Berlin
19-21 November 2021
How do we articulate somatic-informed practices as sensitive tools for social and political transformation? How do we address hidden and embodied ideologies, modes of exclusion, oppression and privilege within our growing field? How do we take responsibility for mobilising, activating and organising meaningful ethical embodied interaction in a rapidly changing world? How do we move beyond a historically inscribed
‘
whiteness
’
of the field towards a making space for global-majority bodies of culture? How can somatic practices contribute toward a re-embodiment of attention and sustainable human interaction with a living world?
BODY IQ Festival Berlin 2021
aims to address questions of embodied recovery and revisioning in the context of global ethical, social and ecological crises and change. Somatic practices have moved beyond a field of sensorial, experiential and emancipatory learning into wider educational, therapeutic, artistic and social-justice contexts. Body IQ Festival recognises the urgent need for meaningful re-embodiment of increasingly digitalised cultural communities in a pandemic and post-pandemic world.
BODY IQ Festivals
have been hosted by Somatische Akademie Berlin in dialogue with international partners since 2015 as a forum for critical engagement with practices of embodiment in socio-political contexts.
From a collaboration that started at the Talent Development online workshops part of the

Silvia Carderelli-Gronau
is a dancer, filmmaker, teacher in HE, researcher and movement therapist in Bristol and Bath. She has been developing a sound-based framework called "Sonic Dancer" that enables dancers to move and improvise with each other from different locations, creating a network of presence, connection and touch beyond the visual sphere. Silvia will be using the Bath Spa Studio Recovery funding to take the project to the next phase of development and testing. Silvia is a Studio resident.
Bath Spa's Ellie Nixon is currently writing a monograph titled
The Imagining Body in Performer Training: The Legacy of Jacques Lecoq and Gaston Bachelard
as part of the Perspectives on Performer Training Book Series, to be published by Routledge in 2019.
This practice-based research project entitled
This is the Land
, is an investigation of Derrida’s concept of Hauntology in contemporary performance practice, with a particular emphasis on cultural theorist Mark Fisher's analysis of Hauntology. Supported by Bath Spa University HEQR Seed Funding.
It aims to explore how embodied interdisciplinary processes of making performance proceed through a dramaturgy of haunting.
This is the Land
takes the premise that the UK is haunted by the past and by possible futures that never came to be. The figure of the ghost is a regarded as a disruptive force, its act of haunting reveals that which is hidden or excluded from history. The research questions notions of heritage and inheritance, identity, and belonging in turbulent times. What has been lost or exluded in the past, which returns as spectral presence as a reminder or remainder of how we can live differently, imagining a future beyond the ones we are given?
The project is a creative collaboration with five professional performers, all of whom are Bath Spa University Alumni across the disciplines of Music, Dance, and Theatre. A professional musician is involved in the creation of the soundtrack for the performance. The outcome of the research will be a performance presented in collaboration with Bath Spa Productions.

This performance was featured as part of a major exhibition at the
Theatre Museum Vienna
in March 2019.
Displaced/displayed re-activates the legacy of Viennese choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (Vienna 1890 – Sydney 1959) and her dancers within a context of global transmission of dance knowledge through crisis, diaspora and exile. This installation coincides with the 80th anniversary of Bodenwieser’s exile from Europe and celebrates the possibility of a nearly lost avant-garde to remain.
It builds on artistic research undertaken by Kampe and Brown between 2014 and 2017 (‘Releasing the Archive’, Auckland, Berlin, Hannover, Bath, Tel Aviv and Vienna) in collaboration with The New Zealand Dance Company and international scholars. The installation draws on video footage of choreographic work developed through the re-enacting of archival material of ex-Bodenwieser dancers Shona Dunlop-McTavish, Hillary Napier and Hilde Holger. The installation explores practices of displacement, doubling and fragmenting of recorded material to echo and honour the labour of lost modernist dancers and dances of exile.
With thanks to Shona Dunlop-MacTavish, Shona McCullagh, Barbara Cuckson, Laure Guilbert, Neil Glen, Anthony Head, Kirsten Seeligmüller. The project was supported through Bath Spa University and University of Auckland.
Basement Dances draws on up to 50 hours of video recordings filmed by Kampe, Kappenberg and others in Holger’s basement studio during the 1990’s recording her pedagogy, creative practice and reflections, on personal recollections of her students including Kappenberg and Kampe who worked with Holger over a period of 13 years until her death in 2001.
Projected outcomes over the next three years will be a series of published articles or video essays, an interactive website honouring the nearly lost legacy of the pedagogy and creative process knowledge of Holger, and screen-dance installation based on the archival footage.
The project builds on Kampe’s recent research on the work of choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) who was Holger’s mentor in Vienna up to 1938, and on Kappenberg’s research into the mediation of dance and discourses in screendance.
The project has been funded with BSU HQR seedfunding.
