Collective dance and subversion: a retrospective gaze on the 20th century 

Annie Suquet propose to shed light on some of the expressions of these dance countercultures – at once emancipatory, provocative, playful, and interactive. Emerging in the context of the first “life reform” movements at the beginning of the 20th century, they take us right up to the end of the 1970’s, in the wake of the hippie years. She will also look at how the concerns at the heart of these dance-based insurrections are being reactivated in practices closer to home.
