PhD students’ workshop

These sessions will examine the way choreographic works evolve according to the media which make for their means of (re)presentation. What are the conditions for producing a dance transposed on paper – described by words or signs – or whose traces have been recorded in a video or in the words of those who performed it? At the same time, how to include these memorial fragments during the creation of a new choreographic proposition, nourished by these effects of citation or re-appropriation? In order to examine these phenomena of dissidence and continuity, the aim will be to probe the notion of transmediality: how can this approach be applied to the analysis of dance works and practices, when what is at stake is the integration of an older work into a new form? The objective of these encounters will be to offer ways to reinvest the traces and survivals from the danced experience, so as to explore resonances within university research as well as artistic practices.
