Practice seminar
Between Choreography, Dramaturgy and the Curatorial
Kirsten Maar
Comments
The boundaries between the fields of choreographic practice, dramaturgy and curation are becoming increasingly blurred. Choreographers and dancers take on dramaturgical activities, while dramaturges describe themselves as curators and the discourses that shape post-dramat(urg)ic aesthetics reflect alternative narratives, formats and shifts in media technology as well as political and social needs. The field of work of dramaturgical practices has become correspondingly diffuse: between curatorial, mediating and pedagogical tasks, dramaturges are above all also seismographs of a constantly differentiating field: not only do the production conditions of the independent scene require alternative ways of working, but above all the blurring of boundaries between the arts, between art and activism also contribute to changing formats. What skills are required, what forms of collaboration result from these necessities? How is the artistic and the political mediated? And how can we, n times of austerity politics and societal backlashes describe an ‘ethics of the dramaturgical’? As part of the exercise, theories on trans-disciplinary dance dramaturgy and curating between the arts will be read, and current shifts in the dance field will be analyzed and discussed with the participants. In an exchange with Berlin dance creators from the independent scene, the dance field will be rolled up, its institutions and its development will be presented and the openings into other fields will be examined. In this way, current perspectives on the fields between dramaturgy, programming, curation, mediation, and politics will be developed. close
