Annalouise Paul Residency and Workshop Event
Annalouise Paul creates dance narratives inspired by histories, bodies and an observation of cultures and peoples. She also works closely with digital technologies and somatic practices. Dance DNA draws on somatic ideas to develop unique movement vocabularies from bridging cultural and contemporary dance forms. Dance DNA is a ‘non-scientific’ term used to describe where movement begins in the body, identifying trigger points for initiating visceral movement and sensibilities. Hidden Rhythms refer to the intrinsic ‘character’ of a rhythm that are danced so that inherent qualities are exposed but not necessarily heard.
Direct Democracy Event
In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of referendums and public votes.

Is it a sign of populism? And what does it mean for representative democracy? Professor Matt Qvortrup will presents his findings based on more than 30 years of research in the field and his new publication Government by Referendum.
