CN D Pantin

Laurence Louppe is a critic, writer, performer, dance historian and author of Poétique de la danse contemporaine (1997 & 2007, Contredanse editions), whose work has been instrumental in dance criticism since the 1980’s. When she passed ten years ago, she left behind written works which shaped an entire generation of dancers, choreographers, artists, students, dance and art thinkers, as well as non-professional readers; the goal of these events is to evaluate her legacy and the many ways it lives on in the minds of today’s readers. The two-day event “Écouter Laurence Louppe” (“Listening to Laurence Louppe”) will be organized around seminars, practical workshops and audio sessions, where participants will share their experience of her work, their scholarship, experiment with her ideas, attend a performative lecture, and listen to audio archives, “Paroles vives de Laurence Louppe”, which will be inaugurated during the event.
