In Episode 5 of Series 1, Johannes Birringer, choreographer and Professor of Performance Technologies at Brunel University talks to Eline Kieft about his journey into combining dance and performance with technologies, why an evolution of body knowledge is more important to him than a specific identity, how our bodies are educated by environments, sensorial experiences and wearables, and how the unknown can be a fertile learning space for growth, creativity and student-learning. The episode includes some wonderful sound-bites to highlight the variety of environmental and sensorial stimuli, based on Birringer's workshop on “underground spatialities” (for Rice University’s Anthropology students).

In Episode 7 of Series 2 Finnish architect and former Professor of Architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology, Juhani Pallasmaa, explains how art and multi sensory awareness lie at the heart of architecture, based on vision and sensing not as automatic mechanisms but cultural matters we learn during childhood, and how seening the mind and body as a continuum and architecture as a verb not a noun is central to his teaching, practice and research.

In Episode 6 of Series 2, leading mobility studies expert Professor Peter Merriman, from Aberystwyth University, talks about the development of the discipline as a field of study in the social sciences, why taking an interdisciplinary approach is important to him and his drive to understand the social, cultural and political dimensions of everyday movement and their impact on national identity and nationalism.

In Episode 5 of Series 2, Auxiliadora Gálvez explains how flamenco and Feldenkrais first stimulated her embodied approach to architectural training. With her students and collaborators on PSAAP, the Platform of Somatics for Architecture and Landscape, at the San Pablo CEU University in Madrid, she explores and experiments on body aware understandings of how humans and environments relate. Making students experience spatial concepts in their bodies has improved student success and creative output, and is why somatic education is now at the heart of Auxiliadora’s teaching, research and architectural practice.

In Episode 1 of Series 2 Gil Hedley talks to Doerte Weig about how discovering our inner bodies allows us to experience our bodies as continuous, to accept muscles as scientific mental creations, to understand how our connective tissues fascia enables movement, and how with appreciation for our bodies we can even come to love our fat.
