The understanding of the specifics of the artistic work process is still incomplete. Philosophers like Maurice Merleau-Ponty (on Paul Cézanne) or Gilles Deleuze (on Francis Bacon in 'The Logic of Sensation') have ventured into that realm.

In the context of our symposium, which focuses on dance, choreography, and performance, we also want to examine the implications of the concept of resonance for (physical) movement – and to what extent these resonances in movement can be linked to musical resonances.
