Noetic ::: Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui


Multiple award winning and constantly topical Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui creates Noetic, along with a distinguished team comprising sculptor Antony Gormley, fashion designer duo Les Hommes, and composer Szymon Brzóska. The creation explores man’s instinctive need to structure every detail of our existence, and our longing to break free of the rules and discover what lies beyond them. With at times mechanical, at times flowing, classical movements, the dancers construct, change and deconstruct reality.
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s roots are in the cultures of both Morocco and Central Europe. His artistic identity has been influenced by many years of involvement in the Belgian dance company Les Ballets C de la B, whose work belongs among the most exciting things to have happened within dance in recent decades.
Cherkaoui is known for bringing together art forms, cultures and traditions. His dance company, Eastman, is attributed the title of European cultural ambassadors in 2013. The harmonic and emotional music in Noetic is composed for The Göteborg Opera Orchestra.

Antony Gormley is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture in the seventies through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos. Antony Gormley and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui have collaborated on three previous projects; Sutra, Babel and Zero Degrees. His set design for Noetic will give the dancers both bodily extensions and the constructive elements to create a potential architecture for individual and collective action.

Noetic explores man’s instinctive need to structure every detail of our existence, and our longing to break free of the rules and discover what lyes beyond them. The dancer´s movements in Noetic are mechanical and automated in appearance. Larbi wants to show the audience how we create structure for and to one another. They build, change and deconstruct reality.
The word "noetic" comes from the Greek word noetikos which means "intuitive mind" or "inner ability". Edgar Mitchell, the American astronaut, who founded The Institute of Noetic Sciences dedicated to research the role of consciousness in human evolution, revived the use of the word.
The set is designed by widely acclaimed artist Antony Gormley. It will give the dancers both bodily extensions and the constructive elements to create a potential architecture for individual and collective action. The harmonic and emotional music is composed by Szymon Brzóska for the Göteborg Opera Orchestra led by Henrik Schaefer. Percussionist Shogo Yoshii brings a flavor of traditional Japanese music to the creation. Miriam Andersén, Swedish singer and "riksspelman" will take part in Noetic as a vocal soloist. Costume design by Belgian fashion design team Les Hommes.

Dancing with Data


Published on Oct 20, 2014
Professor Chris Speed, Chair of Design Informatics, presents the fourth lecture in the 2014 Our Changing World series, entitled "Dancing with Data".

This talk speculates upon a future time in which objects will begin to interact with us in different ways. Such an enquiry is part of what is being described as an Internet of Things. The term, Internet of Things, refers to the technical and cultural shift that is anticipated as society moves to a ubiquitous form of computing in which every device is on, and every physical object is connected in some way to the Internet.

The focus of the talk is to anticipate a time when the scale of data that becomes associated with physical objects is so great that it allows unforeseen patterns and opportunities to be identified.

Recorded on 14 October 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Appleton Tower.
