SPRING Academy: Sound & Text in Motion hosted by Nahuel Cano

Please note: there is space for 20 participants per trajectory

This trajectory introduces participants to performances in which text, movement, and sound operate as interrelated and formative elements. Particular attention is given to how meaning arises through their interaction: how sound structures spatial experience, how language and sonic textures influence perception, and how performance shapes embodied awareness.

By approaching text, movement, and sound as equally significant components, the program engages with how contemporary performing arts construct experience through relational constellations of performative elements. Participants are invited to participate through attentive observation and listening, creating space for reflection on perception, presence, and ways of experiencing performance.

Host

Nahuel Cano was born in Neuquén, Argentina in 1982, currently living and working in the Netherlands. He is a performer, theater-maker, and music composer. His field of artistic action is mobile, exploring the possibilities of performance, music, cinema, and theater. In 2020 he graduated from the DAS Theater Master program in Amsterdam. “I’m a performer and sound experimenter. My work focuses on the relationship between ecological collapse, grief, and colonization. I use sound, film, storytelling, songs, and poems as materials to create performances that put the transformative power of listening at the core.”
