Description
Over the past 15 years, work and thought about borders has taken a choreographic turn as dancers, choreographers, and activists mix different styles and spaces, flip the script on which styles belong to which spaces and traditions, stage explicit interrogations of geopolitical borders, and create pieces for performance in border zones. Their work challenges us to rethink what borders are and how they can be navigated.
In a thought-provoking panel facilitated by USC professor Edwin Hill and Ohio State University professor Lucille Toth, an intersection of French choreographers, dancers, and dance scholars will discuss ways in which international and transnational travel affects and is affected by dancers and dance practices.
This conversation will be livestreamed (audiences in Paris can watch and interact at 7:30 p.m. their time).
This event is presented as part of City of Angels / City of Light, a transatlantic dance exchange and series of events connecting choreographers and students from the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris (Paris Conservatory) with the USC Kaufman School of Dance. The exchange will foster artistic growth through cross-cultural collaboration, celebrate the vibrancy of contemporary dance in Los Angeles and Paris, and contribute to the discourse on global practices.
