Choreographic Forum - Session I

Society for Dance Research

Choreographic Forum

Open to students, researchers, artists and practitioners

The Choreographic Forum is a new initiative aiming to support an exchange of thoughts on current dance and choreography. It is set up as a series of roundtable discussions, during which we reflect on a performance that we have watched together, in a theatre or elsewhere in London. We meet four times a year, and each session begins with two short statements by two invited speakers who then lead the discussion.

Lizzi Kew-Ross: Without Warning

Joint viewings:

Wed 1 Feb, 6.30pm & Sun 5 Feb 2012, 2.00pm

The Old Vic Tunnels, Station Approach Rd, London, SE1 8SW

Discussion forum:

Research Student Conference 2012 at the University of Wolverhampton

Open Call for Papers

4th Annual Research Student Conference in Art & Design hosted by the Centre for Art, Design, Research and Experimentation (CADRE) at the University of Wolverhampton, UK

The conference, which takes place on the 14th May 2012, is intended as a forum for discussion, an informal survey of current PhD research and a social occasion for the facilitation of networking and exchange amongst PhD students in Art, Design, Craft, Performance and Social and Critical Theory. There is no over-arching theme to the conference this year and one of our aims is to let themes emerge from the submission process engendering new debates and discussions.
