Research Project on Artist Pedagogy, Profi6
Groans and muffled tones – hybrid, multidisciplinary realms of sounding bodies
                               (January 2025 – December 2026)





The aim of the research project is to develop artist pedagogy and to subversively and horizontally alter the silo structures of the art university curricula.

According to contemporary gesture studies and the research of sound-producing movements, gestural is closely connected to the study on sounding bodies, vocal skills, and oral skills.

This is a realm of research which is a shared topic at the art academies in general. The concept of sounding bodies, embodiment, mutual dialogue, dialogic learning, interconnectedness, reflective practices, and collaboration are relevant for future artists and art pedagogues working at the future fields of art. The presented research idea focuses on developing communicative skills among interdisciplinary art projects of the future art professionals.
