Choreographer Anya Kravchenko and dance critic Charlotte Imbault will discuss how new dynamics in the world of contemporary dance impacts the work of choreographers, performers, curators, and critics.
We notice how new modes of spectatorship are generated by the work of current choreographers, and how the figure of the choreographer transforms into artist-researcher. Or on the other hand, the choreographers being in a critical position towards their predecessors and peers or towards reality in general, shape their work in a way that new modes of spectatorship become possible. In careful dialogue on the practice of choreographers like Rémy Héritier, Pauline Le Boulba, Volmir Cordeiro, Benoit Lachambre, Myriam Lefkowitz, Jennifer Lacey, Laurent Pichaud, Deborah Hay, Sasha Konnikova, and Ilya Belenkov we will elaborate how those dynamics impact our work as choreographer and critic.
