Tender Motor

The Stockholm Listening Biennial continues with Tender Motor, a performance trio exploring language, rhythm, and collective listening through voice and movement. In Tender Motor, the group takes a playful yet deadly serious step into the art form of ‘music’ to explore the politicized, socialized, and ideologized body through the cracks of gender and humanity. The group’s ongoing fascination with the ambivalent yet highly potent intersection of sound, breath, and movement is taken to a new destination. Through radical trust in process, in one another, and in the collective, affective, and mutating force that defines the body, the performance weaves inward and outward, continuously carried by expansive, soft, pulsating, rhythmic, desiring, vibrating, and listening forms and sounds. The performance Tender Motor is a sequel to the group’s previous works From a Throat of Flesh (2018) and When Dancing Was Done with the Lungs (2022).
