In connection to the performance Performing Underscore #2 at Dansstationen on Sept 17th; tributing Steve Paxton and the lineage of improvisation as a rigorous dance and performance practice we find it important to also meet the dance artists in a conversation!
We have invited the three dance artists performing, Bettina, Charlie and Eva, to share a public conversation on lineage, legacy, the dancer as a living archive, dance history, and the why’s and how’s of their practices.
As these artists together have roots back to the original pioneers of somatic dance practice and improvisational forms in postmodern dance such as Steve Paxton, Trisha Brown, Mary Fulkerson, Joan Skinner, Lisa Nelson, Simone Forti, Deborah Hay, Julian Hamilton, and more, we thought it would be really unique, inspiring and cultivating for the art, dance and improvisational scene in Malmö to hear these artists speak about their life, practice and dance ancestry.
As a way to create a bridge between our local and international dance community and bring more in-depth knowledge about somatic and improvisational forms into our dance and art scene.
The conversation will be moderated by dance archivist Celine Orman and choreographer, curator and somatic practitioner Tuva Hildebrand.
A unique opportunity to hear practitioners with over thirty to fifty years of experience in this tradition share their knowledge.
Please join us for this very special moment!
