Discussions on Performance is a cycle of online discussions on living art, featuring experts in various performative practices.
A form of collective thinking in real time, these discussions bring into focus the questions that are important for the development of Russian performance and contemporary dance today.
Dasha Demekhina is a performance theory scholar, curator, co-founder of the Bureau of Performative Rituals, author of Zhizn kak performans [Life as Performance] podcast on Storytel.
Admission is free with advance registration.
Participants will discuss the question of localising the book canon and the question of developing a common vocabulary in Russian performance through text and action.
The talk will focus on what we can do to draw, or, conversely, to dissolve the border between online and offline formats in the territory of live art mediums, as well as the problem of perception of and participation in performative practices using a smart phone.
Participants will discuss how standards in understanding performance and contemporary dance can be detected and negotiated. They will look into the relationship between the archive and the event in performative practices and talk about artistic as well as legal documentation of events.
A discussion on what helps us consider and document contemporary performance.
