Exchange forum for professional dance & performance artists supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media #TakeAction

Volume 1:   May 1 & 2, 13 - 19h

Proposed and moderated by Mårten Spångberg and Alex Viteri Arturo, with online contributions by Andre Lepecki, Nina Power, Filipa Ramos, Julian Reid, Jana Unmüßig and Miriam Jacob, and Jota Mombaça.

​

Dance is facing different futures. Futures that is simultaneously blurry and vague, all too obvious and frightening, confusing and anxiety producing. This weekend gathering attempt to open up for discussions on how dance and performing arts can navigate the necessity to actively engage with the world, its injustices, and suffering, without giving up arts autonomy and the importance of independent narratives and voices.

Under the umbrella of ecology; health, care, interspecies life, breathing, public space, agency, grief and visionary narration are some of the themes that will be processed by a group of people present at LAKE Studios supported by online participation by artists, activists, and scholars.

Participation is free of charge and accessible online via the link below.
