Reciprocities: Professional Symposium - Roundtable IV - Curatorial Ecologies and Conclusions
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2023-10-27

Villa Albertine presents the professional symposium Reciprocities: Making and Supporting Dance between France and the United States livestreaming on the global, commons-based, peer produced HowlRound TV network Thursday 26 October and Friday 27 October 2023.

How do we sustain a practice of global exchange in dance at a time of climate and funding crisis; a time marked by social inequities and cultural upheavals? What are the privileges and abundances, the tools and creative resources that can be shared and imagined in common? Drawing on a rich tradition of choreographic exchange and collaboration, the symposium will gather dance artists, curators, scholars, and funders working on both sides of the Atlantic to reflect upon and speculate on the models and approaches that can best guide future partnerships and cooperative action.

This two-day event features artists dialogues as well as roundtables with experts and one-on-one artists’ dialogues on topics such as choreographing residencies, pedagogy as performance, acts of transmission, and curatorial ecologies.

Curated by Noémie Solomon with the support of an Advisory Committee and the Albertine’s team.

The Professional Symposium is organized as part of the Albertine Dance Season: a year-long celebration of the art of dance from inception to performance.

Friday 27 October 2023
