Despite the lockdown due to Covid-19, we were delighted to be able to partner with Irish World Academy of Music and Dance (UL) and Liz Roche Company to present this symposium via digital platforms as part of our DDF Digital Capsule, 29 May - 7 June.
Dublin Dance Festival was delighted to partner with The Irish World Academy, University of Limerick and Liz Roche Company to bring you the Modes of Capture Symposium 2020. This year, the symposium explored how dance artists exchange knowledge and experiences across extended networks and through multiple generations that span distance and time. It asked how we might reimagine ways of artistic exchange and how we think about legacy and connection in light of current social and environmental realities.
Curators Jenny Roche and Liz Roche, brought together a group of remarkable local and international dance artists, practitioners and scholars for the two-day event. They shared their work through a series of recorded presentations, live streamed discussions, workshops and movement/performance responses.
Symposium themes included:
- How do we embody and transmit movement legacies from dancer to dancer and from generation to generation?
- What are the knowledges honed through dancing practices and how can we bring them to light?
- How might we reimagine ways of artistic exchange in an uncertain future where international travel may become increasingly restricted due to shifting borders, climate change and other global issues?
