"Social kinesthetic, a sensibility for how it is that we move together, that we're oriented towards movement that we could say is a way of reclaiming and reinvesting in a different principle, a lateral, distributed, but also difficult-to-concretize principle of people moving together but not as one." - Randy Martin

How are the relations and analogies around dance, finance and politics shifting due to the recent global situations? How can art and especially dance be thought with to go beyond its recent flattering photonic expressions and towards embodiment? How can we infuse its kinesthetics into the de-centering of the logics and flows of the mircro and macro political?

These are just some of the questions discussed during the DAS Choreography Open Session titled 'Toward a de-centered social kinesthetic'; a conversation thinking with Randy Martin’s concept and idea of the de-centered social kinesthetic.
