From 2009-2011, with a commission from the hYbrid project at the Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Porto, Beatrice developed Becoming Bodies, a project that aims to engage in a dialogue between dance movement psychotherapy, performance practice and scientific knowledge. Becoming Bodies culminates with a 34 min [colour] performative documentary including a combination of dance theatre and narrative interviews conducted with an international group of scientists and philosophers in the fields of evolutionary biology and genomics. Becoming Bodies has a specially commissioned sound score by Jill Halstead and exhibition photography by Jackie King and Nick Du Plessis. Screenings in the UK and Porto will be posted during June 2012.
Beatrice Allegranti’s new book Embodied Performances: Sexuality, Gender, Bodies presents an innovative blend of practice and research and is accompanied by 70 mins of film. It is published by Palgrave Macmillan. Embodied Performances film episodes have been recently screened at the Kinesthetic Empathy international conference in Manchester organised by The Watching Dance Project.
