Information
The first club will focus on the topic When dance fails as gesture. Organised by SE.S.TA – Centre for choreographic development.
The Dance Reading Club will analyze the current discourse on performative arts four times a year through readings and analyzes of theoretical texts, in dialogue with watched performances, screening of videos and films linked to specific theme. This reading practice wants to encourage the participants to develop a common base for discussion by interwoving the disciples of dance, philosophy, poetry, music and visual art. The Dance Reading Club will be led by a moderated discussion with invited guests focused on specific resarch linked to analysed topic.
The first Club will follow up on the performance Assemblage by Martina Hajdyla Lacová and ME-SA.
In interaction with invited theorists, experts, choreographers, artists and actors of the contemporary dance and art scene, as well as with students and professors of art and other disciplines, we will deepen the common artistic and social discourse based on the multiple references of all participants. Our discussion will be based on several references:
