Cristina Caprioli in conversation with Andrej Mirčev
Date: 23 August 2022, 6.00-7.30 pm
Location: Tanz im August – HAU 3, Tempelhofer Ufer 10, 10963 Berlin
Reflecting on the complex and paradoxical relationship between the transience of the moving body and the permanence of textual trace, Cristina Caprioli and Andrej Mirčev share ideas about the intertwining of writing and dancing. The interrogation of the discursive dimension of choreography aims at articulating the point of intersection in which the body merges with the scripture and multiplies its planes of composition. In search of kinetic agencies, the talk drifts into theoretical speculation and affective modes of choreographic and performative practice.
The event is free of charge and will be held in English, without translation. All interested are cordially invited!
Due to limited capacity, please register in advance via anmeldung@tanzbuero-berlin.de.
