Open discussion – 29 October – Frascati – Amsterdam
Frame: Parallels and Differences
organized by Frascati, Danslab and BIT
We assume that dancers and choreographers embody an incredible amount of valuable artistic knowledge. We do not assume to know what this knowledge is or should be. We assume this knowledge can be archived. We would like to find out the possibilities for archiving. That is why we invite you to navigate these unknown territories together with us.
Be welcome to join this upcoming Frame and openly discuss assumptions, ideas and questions in artistic research and communicating and archiving knowledge in contemporary dance. How can artistic knowledge be shared? What kind of knowledge do you think is shared in artistic research? What could be a suitable form to archive the knowledge gained from artistic research?
These questions ask for an open talk in the field. We need to map the field together and find out what we need to share our knowledge. This Frames subject arose from results of a research, in which BIT examined the needs of dance makers for Danslab, by interviewing a group of 11 freelance choreographers in the Dutch dance field. In the book “No Maps for these Territories” results of this research were presented.
BIT was first presented in a VDO Symposium in January 2010. During this symposium we shared, exchanged and discussed statements on dance dramaturgy. We want to contribute to the dance field by bringing theory and practice closer together. By organizing Parallels and Differences with Danslab and Frascati, BIT takes another step in this direction.
We hope to see you there!
