Coffee Morning with Trio

Tuesday 14 January 2014

11am-2pm-ish

Discussing Discussions in/as Performance
Hosted by Trio Collective

Our discussion of Discussion will touch on current trends in integrating conversation into performances, in the form of pre-show talks, post-show Q&A’s, etc. as well as the recent emergence of certain conversational formats such as Choreographic Forum, Dance and Critical Theory Group, Coffee Mornings, Groundswell Meetings, etc. in the field of dance. It will aim to unpack ways that discussion can be a mode of production for researching, working, communicating, promoting, rehearsing, bonding, exchanging, and performing. Must we “do?” Can’t we just “talk?” Discuss.

We can talk about all of these things, none of these things, and more. You need not bring anything but yourself. And maybe some cake.

The Choreographic Forum is an 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 three times a year, and each session begins with two short statements by two invited speakers who then lead the discussion.

To be included in our email list or for any inquiries, email: sdr.choreographic.forum@gmail.com

The 2013 series is curated by Antje Hildebrandt, Efrosini Protopapa and Lise Uytterhoeven.
