Conversation Without Walls: 

DANSE to Diaries: French feminisms

Saturday, May 17 

3pm-5:30pm

In conjunction with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy's DANSE: A French-American Festival of Performance and Ideas, this conversation traces the legacies of French feminism – the fierce re-imagination of writing through sensuous intellect, an écriture for dancing as it touches on desire, on language, on power.

Moderator: Jenn Joy
with DD Dorvillier, Noémie Solomon, Emmanuelle Huynh, Liz Santoro, and Judy Hussie-Taylor

Following the Conversation, Danspace Project Executive Director Judy Hussie-Taylor will receive the insignia of Chevalier of the Ordre des arts et des Lettres for her significant contributions to the arts. The medal ceremony begins at 6:15pm with remarks from Antonin Baudry, Cultural Counselor of the French Embassy, followed by a reception.

Admission: $10 suggested donation at the door. RSVP recommended. Click here or call (866) 811-4111.

Also this week, Danspace Project and DANSE will co-present Emmanuelle Huynh's A vida enorme/épisode 1, May 15-17, at Danspace Project. Describing the piece, performed with dancer Nuno Bizarro, Huynh writes, "In this story the language and the body celebrate the flesh of the world and its opacity."
