For a decentred history of dance

How is current research reconfiguring and stimulating the history of dance? To coincide with the publication of a multi-authored book, Histoire de la danse en Occident (Editions du Seuil), this international conference proposes to reflect collectively on the forms of decentring now at work or being developed in dance history. Likewise, the choreographer Alwin Nikolais proposes to dancers to experience the multiplicity of guide-points and polyfocality, the idea being to hold a conversation between the ways in which researchers modulate.

These reflection days, open to all, also include encounters with artists at the intersection of their practices and the insights provided by research. Conference held in partnership with the Dance Biennale, the Lyon CNSMD conservatoire, the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, and the National Dance Centre (CND).

Date and Venue :Thu 10 to Sat 12 June, 9am to 6pm, at the CNSMD, the ENS, the Maison de la Danse and the Fagor Factory
