Revolution Fuck Yeah workshop

Revolution Fuck Yeah: A Political Gathering Over Three Evenings with Mårten Spångberg

December 1-3 (Monday-Wednesday) 6:30pm-9:30pm
Dance Theater Workshop Conference Room

FREE - limited to 15 participants - pre-registration required*

This workshop addresses the potential political capacities of dance to extensive transformations towards a society of performance. What repercussions on the level of the political has the fad of performance and performativity in intellectual and academic circuits over the last 15 years had on dance practices and production? This workshop is a political gathering in the sense that it aims to re-claim the potentially political nature of dance and with that the formation/articulation of the history of dance to a community of practitioners. This is a necessary claim in order to liberate dance from repressive structural attributes, and open it for contemporary forms of expression. We serve coffee and tea with cookies. Hosted by Mårten Spångberg and the Program for Choreography, Univ. College of Dance Stockholm.

*Pre-registration is strongly advised. Register online. For questions relating to online registration, email info@movementresearch.org.
