What is considered healthy, beautiful or efficient? Notions of the human body have evolved over time, are shaped by culture and are scientifically contested. The lecture series organised by the Collegium generale at University of Bern explores how bodies are perceived, measured, optimised and experienced. This opens up new perspectives on questions concerning the body that affect us all. In her contribution, dancer and choreographer Anna Huber focuses on the body as a medium of artistic expression and insight.
