Call for papers and presentations
18-19.06.2011 Baltic Movement Conference 2011
Club Zak - Gdansk, Poland
Baltic Movement Conference is a meeting of dance practitioners, theoreticians, managers of culture and people experienced in promoting and supporting dance. The goal of the conference is to stimulate a critical discussion about the new currents in the contemporary dance and exchange of ideas and practices in the field of dance research, education, production and promotion.
The conference is organised in cooperation with the Institute of Music and Dance, Gdansk University, Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk.
The special guests of our conference this year will be professor Steve Dixon (Brunel University, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Strategy and Development), Johannes Birringer (Ph.D, AlienNation Company), Susan Kozel (Ph.D, MEDEA Collaborative Media Initiative, Malmö University). Different forms of presentation, ranging from work demonstration, through workshop sessions, to paper presentations, will hopefully provide a variety of perspectives to view the problem of body in contemporary dance practice and performance.
During the conference we will also hold a panel discussion devoted to the strategies of supporting and promoting dance in Poland and Europe. The discussion including presentations of institutions, NGOs, artists and culture animators engaged in the work of the Institute of Music and Dance, will be an attempt to draw some conclusions about the situation of contemporary dance in particular countries and regions of Europe.
The conference will be translated simultaneously (English/Polish).
