EM Forster
Evening will feature presentations from dance department staff on their current research followed by a brief a sharing of practice and open discussion on connectivity.
Presentations:
- Kyra Norman – Thoughts on making ‘Haunted by Haunted: A Tribute Act': performing the practice of research, in the form of a choreographed chat
- Ruth Pethybridge – From Direct Action to Being There: Choreographing Communities in Dance and Occupy Protests
- Katrina Brown – Choreographic notes on documenting processes in Translucent Surface/Quiet body: choreographics of forces, surfaces, body and documents
- Simon Birch – Excerpt from Shoreline work in progress and dialogues on social engagement
Responding to the research theme of Creative, Connected Communities, the discussion will broadly discuss the idea of connectivity in dance and performance engaging with the following research questions as starting points:
- How do embodied forms connect/intersect with digital forms?
- How does dance research connect with its participants as a co-creative act?
- How might fragmentation and disconnection also be part of choreographic practice?
