The aim of this seminar is to provide students with tools and vocabulary for the understanding of contemporary dance in transdisciplinary contexts. We will examine creative collaborations between choreographers, artists and composers, ranging from 20th century postmodernism to current approaches, while elaborating the historical and cultural background of key works. Aiming to provide a critical overview of the contemporary dance scene in Europe, the seminar will expose students to the major artistic debates of recent years surrounding the intersection of the body and identity politics, post-humanism, public space, queer theory and post-colonialism.
