This practice presentation is a continuation of the sabotage process started in \u201dOtra cosa que no es una conferencia \/ Something Else That Is Not a Conference\u201d (2026). The format appears as a structure held in tension: sometimes it cracks, sometimes it solidifies, sometimes it barely manages to stay upright. Through voice, dance and non-verbal forms of expression, I am interested in being in the oscillation where the language trembles, spills out or suddenly solidifies, as if it wants to control what it names. On stage, residues, intensities and excesses accumulate without seeking closure, but instead persist in their instability. The performance develops as a field of tension between exposure, erosion and opacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

OM:<\/p>\n

Manuel Rodr\u00edguez<\/b> is an Andalusian artist working in dance, performance and visual arts. He holds a Master's degree in New Performative Practices from Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH). His work explores how the body and the voice can become sites of thinking, capable of changing perception and opening up new relationships between the sensual, the poetic and the political. Working with movement, breath, vibration, voice, images, objects and installation, Manuel develops choreographic situations where the body loses its fixed function and enters processes of displacement and transformation. Based on a sustained commitment to craft, and influenced by science fiction, ritual, post-humanism and forms of writing characterised by erasure, drift and illegibility, his work approaches opacity as a form of resistance, where fixed interpretations are suspended and the grip of clarity as a means of control is loosened.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manuel has created more than 15 stage works, alongside photographic, audiovisual and installation-based projects. His work has been presented and developed internationally in collaboration with leading institutions in the performing and visual arts, including MACBA Barcelona, Tanzhaus Z\u00fcrich, Oper Graz, Kyoto Art Centre, Cukrarna Museum in Slovenia, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Uppsala Konstmuseum, Mercat de les Flors Theatre and Teatros del Canal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a dancer, his ten-year collaboration with Marcos Morau at La Veronal is particularly noteworthy, alongside his work with international creators such as James Thierr\u00e9e.<\/span><\/p>\n

The work of Danskompaniet ZOO\/Thomas Hauert is primarily based on movement research. One of the central methods is improvisation, which is seen as a means of freeing the body's potential from the limitations of the analytical mind. It is not a completely free improvisation, but a controlled one, where specific tasks, rules and frameworks are used to shake up the dancers\u201d learned behaviours. Improvisation allows for the creation of complex movements that involve so many factors that they would be impossible to repeat or write down. ZOO goes beyond the individual and develops a work around the group, around the \u201dbody\u201d of all the dancers, or what could be called the \u201dsocial body'. While the exploration of the individual body emphasises diversity, the work with the group aims at cohesion, communication and contact. The dancers' bodies are coordinated through flexible and responsive organisational principles, promoting an order based on the mutual trust between the dancers rather than on individual authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is regularly invited to give workshops and held the Valeska-Gert Visiting Professorship at the Freie Universit\u00e4t in Berlin during the winter of 2012-13. In 2012 he participated in the Motion Bank project, initiated by the Forsythe Company, which is dedicated to research on choreographic practice and thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n
