Lobby TALKS
December 9 -- 7:30pm (free)
The (non) currency of historical, re-visited, and re-staged choreography
This conversation will explore and debate the various issues and motivations behind the act of re-staging choreography. As an ephemeral, live art form, can re-staged choreographic works help us gain new understanding from our shared history in dance and performance? How do these works resonate today? We will discuss the idea of bringing back specific works from two or three decades ago as well as works from recent seasons. Join invited participants Simon Dove, Danielle Goldman, David Gordon, Neil Greenberg, and Yasuko Yokoshi in this discussion.
A new initiative of Dance Theater Workshop, Lobby TALKS creates a forum for open and in-depth discourse on contemporary issues in dance and performance. Organized around specific themes, each meeting uses as a starting point one or more of the artistic investigations, methodologies, and motivations that can be seen in performance today and on our current season. Subjects will be investigated, challenged, and considered by an invited group of artists, critics, and theorists, and is open to all who would like to join the conversation.
