« Conversations on Choregraphy »

International audienceThe “Conversations on Choreography” is a series of ongoing discussions of contemporary dance making with a focus on European contexts that were hold from 1999 till 2002. It did not function in the traditional format of a conference or a symposium, but was seeking innovative ways of organising contexts for dialogue and exchange. Keeping the practice of choreography close to the centre of the discussions and debates was essential to the aims of this extended discussion. Invited contributors were writers, educators, dramaturges, choreographers, performers, critics, organisers and researchers. Curated and organized by Scott DeLahunta, the core group included Isabelle Ginot, Myriam Van Imschoot, Andre Lepecki and Diana Theodores. This article is the closing step of the series, produced in a residency group project in Bellagio in 2002
