Susanna Eder is currently researching on choreographies within institutions. As an embodied researcher she is finding ways to explore, play with and potentially transform the (in)visible organisations between body, time and space present within institutions.

With her research, she is aiming to develop and theorise an embodied understanding of and within institutions by reflecting and experimenting with her own and other bodies as a research instrument and reading device. She is trying to find ways to support institutions, organisations and individuals, increasing transformative capacities within organisational change processes.

By developing an embodied lens on institutional change processes, she is tapping into collective memories, sharing and re-contextualizing narratives in a participatory, context-sensitive way. By opening reflective spaces to non-verbally experiment with embodied knowledge, she is thereby creating an innovative perspective on and experience of »the institution«, aiming to overcome the understanding of »the other (body)« as opposed to »my own (body)«.

With her research, she is asking academics and non-academics to fully acknowledge the means of communicating, perceiving and interpreting (institutional) realities with and through (the movement of) our/their bodies, bridging gaps between the academic and non-academic, the individual and institutional.
