We welcomed Micaela Terk as our guest in the residency space. With the Embodied Knowledge Bureau she organized a sensory field trip throughout Hasselt. We approached our walk across Hasselt in layers. We started northeast of the ring, amongst parks and construction sites. We tried slowing down to the pace of our surroundings. With the delicate eyes — the ones that cover the soles of our feet and our skin — we reconnected to information that surrounds us in everyday movement.
Crossing over into the ring, we added a layer of social choreography. We played as double-agents: pedestrian bodies that are also sensory detectives. We walked to learn about the city's infrastructure, how it informs our sense of moving as a group, our narratives of self and others.
Reaching the city center, we finally released the dominant sense of sight. We surrendered to intimacies and delicacies found in moving from other senses.
We viewed the landscape with a million eyes, hidden underneath our feet. As secret agents we also learned to look at this city through the walking pace of a stranger. Trust was given to ourselves, as we had to let go of our eyesight and navigate through the streets using our other four senses.
