Artists Encounter At London Contemporary Dance School
9 February 2024This February, London Contemporary Dance School and The Place will host Artists Encounter, a week of workshops and performances with Aerowaves Artists Gaya de Medeiros and Lorraine Dambermont sharing their cutting-edge contemporary practice. In addition, artists and students are invited to a series of Programming Workshops.
Artist’s Encounter at London Contemporary Dance School is an initiative from The Place supported by Aerowaves.
Take part in the Programming Workshop on 20 February
Who’s it for?
Facilitated by Roberto Casarotto (Co-Director, Aerowaves) and Joseph Morgan Schofield (Programme Producer, The Place), the Programming Workshops are an opportunity to gain insight into Aerowaves’ own rigorous selection process as well as a gain a broader understanding of contemporary dance curation and programming. This should interest dance artists, choreographers, emerging producers, curators, and arts administrators.
What’s involved?
The Programming Workshops are discursive and participants will be invited to take part in a mock Aerowaves selection meeting. You will be sent documentation of a dance work to watch and evaluate before presenting it in the workshop. The preparation should take no more than 60 minutes. In the session, we will hear from all participants about the works, watch extracts of each and discuss them as a group, before working together to programme a speculative festival.
How to sign up?
Date & Time: Tuesday 20th February, 11am to 2pm. Participants must be available for the whole duration of the workshop.
Venue: The Place, London, WC1H 9PY
Cost: Free
DOUBLE BILL: Atlas da boca and TOUJOURS DE 3/4 FACE!
Movement Language is a new programme by The Place, bringing distinct choreographic voices into conversation. This double bill presents the works of two artists selected for the Aerowaves Twenty23: Atlas da Boca by Braba Plataforma and TOUJOURS DE 3/4 FACE! by Loraine Dambermont. Movement emerges from language in both works, which speak in poetic, frank and complex ways about politics and identity.
Date & Time: Thursday 22nd February, at 7:30pm.
Venue: The Place, London, WC1H 9PY
