I am honoured to be a guest on the panel of rehearsal directors for the upcoming symposium Choreographic Legacies: The Life Cycle of Dance Performances, where we will explore how existing dance pieces can be revived for new and older audiences.

Dance, an art form that lives through performance, often survives only through the dancers’ bodies and the spectators’ memories. The symposium will address how to breathe new life into these works and the challenges that arise when choreographers are no longer present, or dance companies disband.

This fascinating event will bring together an impressive lineup of experts from the Flemish and international dance sectors.

STUK, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen and the University of Antwerp organise the event.

The programme and biographies of the speakers can be found on this webpage of STUK.
