Course syllabus
The workshop will consist of a series of practical meetings devoted to the study of body technology, dance practices and performance. The lectures will also focus on the historical and aesthetic developments of dance itself, its concerns and its multiple manifestations, through encounters with the poetics of choreographers who will offer different perspectives on both the Italian and global context. These lectures will be complemented by the reading of fundamental texts on performance studies, followed by discussion sessions aimed at delving into the phenomenon that has led dance to become a crucial referent for thinking, realising and curating visual and performing works in recent decades.
