  • Laura Doehler | Exit Map

    Laura Doehler co-director of Exit Map Dance and performance ar tist, teacher and choreographer Laura initiates collective processes via Exit Map that install a fluid and sensitive connectivity between self and other. Together with Exit Map she produces work and events that people can participate in and witness. The shedding of boundaries of self and other and the integration of performance and practice as part of everyday life are recurring themes. Projects are brought to life in close dialogue with other people and artists to realize collective ownership defined by processes and embodied dialogues. photo Patrick Beelaert (BE/UK) "Being mindfully and playfully alive while in direct negotiation with what is around me, weaving the trouble with the beautiful. ​ I attend regularly to what moves me with the Shared Practice and Openly Spaced Out . I call them shared secular rituals that foster conversation and collaboration with other people and artists. I want to make sense how movement serves as vehicle for life or aliveness. The findings are shared and shape a community of people and environment. ​ To me the virtuosity of dance is a matter of awareness and articulation that manifests because we regularly attend to it and share it. ​ It is presence that shapes the future. ​ Physically and verbally, technique manifests because we inquire, revisit and affirm. I suspend myself between the experiential and the objective.

  • Exit Map Works 2015/16 | Exit Map

    Works by Exit Map Collective 2015/16 Around the subject of care, intersubjectivity and sociability, we are creating work that is constantly developing but essentially allowing itself to be looked at from many angles. We switch performance filters, creative somatic approaches, trial composition tools and dialogue. We that is Tania Soubry, Anne-Gaelle Thiriot, Laura Doehler and guest artists. Ridiculous Copernicus and Polyticks 2016 at Chisenhale Dance Space with guest sound artist Chaterine Elsen. ​ 1: Polyticks ​ Through vocal and movement improvisation, individual impulses meet one another and create a stream of constructing, deconstructing and merging hybrid realities. A collectively built sound score frames our explorations and negotiations of the borders between training, practice, dance, life, process and product – the polyticks of performance. ​ 2: Ridiculous Copernicus ​ “Among the authorities it is generally agreed that the Earth is at rest in the middle of the universe, and they regard it as inconceivable and even ridiculous to hold the opposite opinion. However, if we consider it more closely the question will be seen to be still unsettled, and so decidedly not to be despised. For every apparent change in respect of position is due to motion of the object observed, or of the observer, or indeed to an unequal change of both.” –Nicolaus Copernicus Twerkasonata at Conway Hall 2015 ​ For the past year we worked on a production that establishes the individual as an entity of form and sound that is challenged in the negotiation of meeting other entities, challenging co-existence as we find ourselves negotiating differences. We are working with effects of merging, layering and juxtaposition of movement and sound and what happens when we attribute certain characteristics to a specific place. Creating islands in space that become territory, we trigger meetings that allow audiences to anticipate what it is to go into new spaces or to undo the link between person and space with the overarching question, how can we really embrace the idea of free movement? ​ LAUNCH at Cockpit Theatre 2015 with guest artists My Johannsson ​ We’re all pervading the indie dance scene through live arts, visual arts, video arts, etc. via different routes. We have a distinctive practice-driven and experimental approach. We talk together, agree, disagree, discuss. And that is what makes us do what we do. ‘Launch’ was a sound and sense exploration wherein different research practices find a common ground, living side by side, provoking questions what it is that is us – being and inviting being with, reaching and radiating inquiries, sharing and listening. ​ ​ Work in Progress Sharing ​ LAUNCH, Cockpit Theatre and Longfield Hall 2015 ​ In Launch we investigated how we care and how we can induce a sense of care to the audience. The show is an assembly of different takes on care incorporating contact work, tea, singing and text and more generally where do we draw the line between ourselves and others, how much we are influenced and taken by other people’s needs, how much are we available or insist on our own agenda.

  • Live Social Networking Station | Exit Map

    Live Social Networking Station At Fishtank Festival, Rag Factory ​ Rather than succumbing to the typical "Stick to Your Own Syndrome" at parties, we went the extra mile to foster genuine connections among guests. We enticed them away from their screens, guiding them on a journey through the venue, encouraging conversations with us and fellow guests. The moment a connection sparked, we ushered them into our booth, where we adorned them and presented a one-of-a-kind photo experience that captured the essence of the moment. Each interaction became a memorable and distinctive encounter. Our conversations thrived on daring speculations about identities, origins, and journeys, constructing a towering edifice of imagination ready to be unleashed and immortalized in our photo sessions. It was a feat of social captivation. With expert finesse, we orchestrated introductions, bringing together individuals and small groups, while our photos stood as living testimonials, freezing these moments in time. The questions of 'Who are you,' 'How do I perceive you,' and 'What do you think of me' provided rich material to explore. Through the lens of the camera, we delicately examined the nuances of representation, offering a unique perspective for outsiders to appreciate. ​ Collaborators: Bettina John, concept, performer and costume, Jaime Leme, concept, photography and performer, Maria Vargas, Make-up artist, performer, Laura Doehler, concept, performance Back to Archive

  • Moving On Resonance Artists | Exit Map

    Moving On Resonance Artists From left to right: Amy Voris, Tania Soubry, Sara Ruddock, Simon Roth Amy Voris: www.amyvoris.com Amy Voris is a contemporary dance-maker based in Manchester. Her practice is process-oriented and collaborative, driven by the desire to develop enduring relationships with people, with places and with movement material. Examples of current projects include a site-responsive project (enter & inhabit ), a collaboration with a jewellery maker (flockOmania ) and a collaboration exploring artist-led curation for experimental performance practices (Accumulations ). In 2012, Amy completed training in Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy with Linda Hartley which informs her approach to making and collaborating. ​ Tania Soubry: www.taniasoubry.com I am a trans-disciplinary artist, performer and choreographer, working with the body, movement, atmospheres, voice and sound. Through sensuousness, humour and solidarity, my practice and work are motivated by a political ecology of things and by a poetic re-enchantment of the world. Following tensions, curiosities and desires, I tend to the vitality and relation of human and more-than-human, as well as to the joy and pleasure of dance as a liberating force. Preoccupied with regeneration on an individual, social and global level, I work with eco-feminism and fictive imagination to deal with the present and create possibilities. ​ Sara Ruddock: www.sararuddock.com Sara Ruddock is a Swedish artist working with dance and choreography as vibrational and relational practices, as a performer, choreographer and educator/facilitator. Professionally active in the field of dance and choreography since 2002, creating and performing a number of solo works and collaborative projects with other artists, and dancing with a range of choreographers such as Deborah Hay and Julie Cunningham. Educated mainly at DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts [BA, MFA]. Currently a PhD candidate at Roehampton University researching listening as embodied, multi-dimensional and relational practice, and the transformative potentials of resonance and resistance. ​ Simon Roth: https://simonrothmusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/simonmroth/ I am a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer and curator, known primarily as a drummer in the Contemporary and Klezmer music scenes. I have performed all over the world and feature on several critically acclaimed recordings. I have written, released and performed my own work through Mayday Project, Stories and Land of If. I have staged interdisciplinary arts events as Pop-Up Circus (now Soapbox Circus) and in collaboration with JW3, Dash Arts and Brick Box. I work regularly with Play for Progress, a charity that uses music and creative therapies to build healthy and resilient relationships that support and amplify the voices of unaccompanied refugees and asylum-seekers. I am working on my first theatre solo show, ‘Behind the Beat’ (it’s basically me trying to set up a drum kit on stage plus distractions). I developed this with Haley McGee during a residency at Canada Water Theatre. I have also been learning DIY instrument building with sound artist Leafcutter John. and make radio shows for Faff FM. ​ ​ ​ ​

  • Community Engagement | Exit Map

    Community Engagement to grow connections and expand common ground ​ Exit Map offers workshops to communities and cultural organisations to move on or return to conversations about who, why and where we arrived for what to happen. These workshops facilitate processes that organisations engage with to empower members, volunteers and organisers by exploring personal and shared purpose, values and infrastructures. Our aim is to foster practices that enable a full participation of its people and their environment, to meet challenges and change. ​ Do get in touch if you would like to invite us to work wit h your community or organisation. ​ Read on for what we offer and who we are working with. ​ A community is a whole made of many; its parts empowered to act or aiming at diverse equalities because ahead of us lies a winding path of discrimination and hierarchies paved in our past. For safe passage we need rites, practices and performances to allow us to acknowledge and remember our shared humanity and histories. Involving the body through somatic practices, in-person contact and lived experiences, we bring the whole of us, our emotional landscapes, our sensory sense making back into view to enable transparent empathetic conversations. On that ground we may perceive ‘us’ as a felt experience, in real time and space, and we imagine coexistence, expanding on existing ideas and adopting our actions. We want to support organisations who share this ethos and generosity to fully integrate everyone including the more- than -human towards a life-centric rather then people- centric vision. Fo llowing the eco-logical principle of growth and meeting the deeply entangled complex systems of human, ecological and technological nature, we engage the ever increasing plurality of perspectives by engaging the multiplicity of our senses and functions that bodies, nature and life overall provide us with. Exit Map is a community of practice that holds the expertise of somatic movement practitioners, group facilitators and teachers to build a safe container for you to encounter personal and organisational matters; a community in and of itself that thrives through co-learning and trust. We connect to each other and to you to catalyse action towards regeneration by envisioning together what individually we wouldn't be able to see. Our work is to enable you to become a community of practice for ongoing regeneration to root and grow, making space for change. ​ ​ These projects listed underneath are examples and reflections we invite you to join either by reading or participating. Do get in touch if you want to participate or if you have a community group you want us to meet. ​ Imagine ​ project Glengall Wharf Garden , Peckham London, UK ​ It is run by a dedicated team of volunteers. A space for local residents, it offers volunteer gardening sessions, workshops and grows food through permaculture and forest gardening. Sustainability and ecological welfare are core to the garden’s philosophy to develop the site as a place to build skills, community and wellbeing for all. ​ We ask What social and spatial infrastructures in this urban yet natural environment hold which kind of opportunities for connections between people from varied backgrounds and ages and their respective locality to emerge? ​ Addressing the vision of co-authoring public urban spaces to identify common ground, we will initiate activities of social and creative encounters to explore how participants imagine activities to shape spaces to deal with climate change and counter isolation. A commission and collaboration with the Place that will co-facilitate during 10 days in April and May 2024 with a performance sharing at the end. If you are interested to be part and experience this community do get in touch. project Ponderosa Tanzland, Stolzenhagen, DE ​ ​ This workshop took place in late Spring 2023 and provided a contrast to a weighted climate discussion. Coming back to folk dances as a secular ritual or community practice, the space got infused with laughter as we spun around in Caleigh formations. It counter acted the depression we experience when looking at the looming climate dilemma. It is so important to ask what practices we employ to deal with what kind of information so we can DEAL with it. How do we enable meetings so that we can feel the trouble yet not loose courage to act and make things happen? It was also a time to reflect how Ponderosa is embarking on their change of leadership and methodologies of collective organisation. You can read here on non-linear thoughts and developments. project Moving On Funded by Arts Council England, we offered community workshops as part of the project Moving On for residents of housing co-operatives and council tenants of Lewisham and Southwalk (London, UK). The aim was to stimulate a relationship to their local green spaces for new ways of understanding natural habitats as part of home and community. We journeyed to local parks, cemeteries or inhabited adjacent/ included green spaces to move together and reflect how our relationships to people and environment shifted. What does it mean to embed such spaces into our lives? What practices do we share and which conscious choices may enable us to linger and embrace company more? New Cross - Lewisham Besson Community Centre has a community garden that we dwelled in. We also ventured out into neighbouring Nunhead and visited the local gem Nunhead cemetery. We invited Lewisham Housing Association tenants, visitors of the centre and Ivy Club members, an elderly group in Nunhead. ​ Peckham - Southwalk Cossall Hall is the community centre for a whole council housing estate which features green spaces like a park and smaller green interludes. Dancing where houses meet trees, gave agency to participants and natural space as place of encounters. Ladywell - Lewisham Olan Trust, an umbrella for various housing co-operatives like Chudleigh co-op for instance, was able to bring its Lewisham and Southwalk based members together. We walked up Hilly Fields, moved, ate and talked while leisurely and informally getting to know the people of the wider network. ​ New Cross - Lewisham Nettleton Road Housing Co-op is a street of houses with wonderful big gardens but little communal spaces. Walking up to Telegraph Hill with residents we see and feel how this park is a common ground for people to come together and hang out where there is space to move and expand with body and mind. New Cross - Lewisham Sanford Housing Co-op has a garden that connects all the houses, nurturing a well connected community. We nevertheless took residents further out to their local train strip meadow space which offers open land, a big sky and the opportunity to spread out from an otherwise compact living situation Nunhead, Southwalk The Green Community centre is home to many communities. The Ivy club is a group of elderly who like to chat in the main hall for a long coffee morning. We took them into the garden and it turned out they had not been there for a long time. They hugged the tree, stretched out and thanked us for the reminder. We also connected to the Lewisham based housing co-operatives Deptford and Three Boroughs who we invited to the gardens of the Albany centre and afterwards to the local beach at the Thames. Also Phoenix Housing Association whose residents we took to experience Beckenham Place Park as well as organised meetups in Leeds and Manchester for residents from various co-operatives to enjoy meadows and parks.

  • Community | Exit Map

    Community Exit Map exists within a society whose individualistic outlook is problematic. 'Groupness, not togetherness but conscious connectivity' says Alexandra Baybutt, dance artist and researcher who joins the Shared Practice. It is intrinsic to the work yet in our society overall it is largely absent. While cultural organisations advocate inclusion and go to great length to advance equality, we are missing a deeper understanding of why and how we are simply not, and cannot be, separate entities. It is balancing act, one that is ongoing, a recalibration and improvisation that does not pursue a right or wrong but seeks support by knowing what and how we are connected. Exit Map facilitates experiences to expand our abilities of 'groupness' and does so by proposing projects to the community and by asking the community to contribute as creative participants so as to own their practice towards personal and collective development. Dance Artists ​ Exit Map artists are those who creatively contribute to the experiences we create. They may join for one project only or repeatedly. Exit Map wants to be a platform for artists to meet and develop their work over a longer period of time to facilitate a cross-dissemination of approaches and a deeper understanding of each others work. Consequently we create a whole new body of work as the various influences meet. Exit Map wants to support especially artists around SE London but reaches across the UK and worldwide to implement an ethos of support and collaboration which affects us all of us.

  • We + Us | Exit Map

    People VISION OF US - COMMUNITY ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ MANAGEMENT - CORE ARTISTS ​ ​ ​ Each project, like Moving On and the Shared Practice, is governed by the directors, a hub of artists and the community. Although much of the management rests with the managing director Laura, the vision is to collaboratively develop and manage the work from within together by incorporating dialogues, feedback time and structures. That way personal ideas and proposals are contextualised and new work can emerge as we allow personal and artistic boundaries to fade. We are, very gently, probing the independent artist image ... ​ Everyone is welcome and considered a member. If you want to join a meeting or the advisory board just let us know. However with making the distinction between members and therefore non-members allows the following. Being a member we will more proactively make sure you are in all the email threads you want to be in, keep you up to date and effectively support you as you support us with ideas and connections. Financially your membership can support the work we do and simultaneously provide you with more opportunities. The most important ingredient however to become a member is interest.
