No-How Generator - Matthias Sperling & Katye Coe

No-How Generator embarks from the question: If knowledge-generation is a fundamentally embodied process, can we see and experience it happening in a dance performance? Performed with Katye Coe and joined by a different guest performer each time, No-How Generator invites you to experience a ritual-like performance that connects scientific perspectives on embodied cognition with more magical ways of knowing, such as divination, alchemy, shamanism or hypnosis. With both seriousness and gently subversive humour, the work reflects on a dance performance’s potential to serve as a collective experience where particular forms of knowing are conjured into being – for performers and audience members alike. First performed in 2019, No-How Generator has been created through Sperling’s artistic doctoral research process. Seating is on cushions and chairs around the performance space. Guest Performers to be announced.
