CATALYSTS - Somatic Resonance (2022)
This is a Screendance and AR choreographic exhibition of somatic body states from the work of Icelandic choreographer Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir. The exhibition is a choreography of Mixed Realty technologies, kinaesthetic algorithms, archival material and live bodies. Visitors are invited to download the CATALYSTS app to immerse themselves in the resonant states of the dancers informed by Guðjónsdóttir’s deep tissue release practice “FULL DROP into the Body”. States of affective potential arise from awakening latent energies over time, across media and flesh, expanding what dance can be and how bodies can remember.

This work was created by an interdisciplinary team of artists and researchers at Inter Arts Centre in Malmö Sweden, November 2021 - January 2022. It is an intervention into the tensions and potential of current digital cultures and participates in ongoing discussions around the expanded choreographies of interconnectivity of mediated bodies, healing, feminism, notions of energetic citizenship, AI and the pathology of the wider social-political body within our own bodies. Visitors to the exhibition carry the states from this choreographic exhibition outwards, like ripples in a collective somatic field. It premièred 24-28 Feb 2022 at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry, Berlin.
Exhibitions:
1) Institute for Cultural Inquiry, Berlin. 24-28 Feb 2022
2) Reykjavik Dance Festival - Feminist Futures. 15-18 November 2023
3) Side Step Festival, Zodiac Theatre, Helsinki. 1-10 February 2024

P(AR)TICIPATE: body of experience | body of work | body as archive (2014)
World Premiere Lake Studios Berlin 30 Aug 2014
Concept, Performance and interaction design by Jeannette Ginslov
Created during a six week dance-tech AIR Residency at Lake Studios Berlin.
Other performances: Dance Base and Hannah Maclure Centre, Scotland 2015.
P(AR)ticipate is an immersive participatory and live performance installation using the AR (Augmented Reality) app Aurasma to access Ginslov's personal memories of living in an Apartheid & Democratic South Africa as well as documentary footage of her 25 year dance archive. It was created during a six week dance-tech AIR Residency at Lake Studios Berlin. The live performance installation uses the AR app on mobile smart phones, to access ten haptic and ten archive videos that are tagged on images in the space - walls, floor and Ginslov's moving body.
Videos are triggered by the audience holding their device over the tagged images:
Link: 10 Haptic Videos triggered by Ginslov's personal somatic hieroglyphs (Inspired by Nancy Stark Smith's Underscores)
Camera & edit: Jeannette Ginslov, 2nd Camera: Marcela Gietsche, Location: Lake Studios Berlin
Link: 10 Archive Videos triggered by images of Ginslov's live dance and screendance works
Camera: Jeannette Ginslov, Donald Tolmie & Vilte Vaitkute,

Artist in Residence at MEDEA, Malmö University (2012)
Jeannette Ginslov’s work centers around affect, haptic and digital materiality on several platforms: stage, screens, online and new media applications. Ginslov’s residency, funded by the Danish Arts Council, focuses on the project AffeXity, that draws together screendance, visual imagery, AR and mobile networked devices. Together with Prof Susan Kozel, a team of researchers and students, Ginslov will be exploring and striving for a number things, e.g. developing the techne for capturing affective choreographies embedded in cityscapes, using video, the apps Aurasma and Argon on mobile networked smart phones and tablets.
Artist in Residence Spring 2012 at MEDEA: Introducing Jeannette Ginslov at MEDEA Talks #19 "Capturing Affect with a handful of Techne" Supported by THE DANISH ARTS FOUNDATION.
