Interactions in artistic realms have many manifestations—depending on the cultural area, on the traditions of thought and belief of the people who are interacting in each case.
Against the backdrop of the complexity of the conference’s guiding term: „interaction”, the paper focusses on different situational, sociocultural, and social contingencies of interactions in diverse sound and movement scenarios. The involved actors’ forms of expression and representation, their narratives, their sound and body images, through to overarching paradigms, are always contextual, just like the interactive working processes themselves. They are rooted in the site of their origins, and can neither be transferred nor demarcated with clear parameters.
