The as if it’s just about to happen book series invites a reengagement with four workshops, facilitated within HZT Berlin’s BA Dance, Context, Choreography course between 2014–2016. Four of HZT’s teaching staff initiated a collaborative writing project with colleagues and HZT students and alumni to access what persists through the entanglement of their artistic and pedagogic practices. They returned to the pedagogic events with the question “What was and is it doing and what can we create with it now?” Initial experiences, notes and memories from the workshops were approached with a strategy of interruption. A specific set of parameters informed a structure of excerpts, footnotes, invitations and responses that produced a new order of connections based on selectivity, discontinuity and proliferation. As a reader you are encouraged to be involved with the passages of writings and drawings within these four books — to follow, skip across, take apart, expand, reassemble, rewrite and respond further. You are invited to experience what is still creating itself, as if it’s just about to happen. IMPRINT Project editor: Litó Walkey. Copy editor: Karen Christopher.

Gestures of portraiture<br />
In October 2015 Florian Feigl and Litó Walkey co-taught a workshop<br />
designed to initiate the first year students into the BA HZT course. Within<br />
the broader contexts of biography, identity and personal narration,<br />
portraiture served as a process-based approach towards small formats of<br />
dance, performance, composition and writing. Inquiries included: What<br />
possible transformations do biographical narrations undergo when taken<br />
apart and distributed into a group? What are possible relations between<br />
the personal, the biographical and research? How do single elements of<br />
personal resources change and develop when extracted and transferred<br />
into other contexts? Practical approaches included notebook practice,<br />
compositional strategies and practices, writing studies, studies with<br />
textures and material, spatial relation and drawing, reading, thinking,<br />
feedback and discussion in individual, small and large group constellations.
