1st International Dance Conference of the Association of the Greek Choreographers

Athens, Greece

22 - 25 Apr '10

Dancing Bodies: Practices and Politics

Dance Studies developed as an autonomous academic subject in the second half of the 20th century, incorporating in its core disciplines, beyond purely movement and choreography studies, topics from humanities and social studies. The necessity to develop interdisciplinary ways of formulating new subjects for dance studies resulted from the need to research, analyze and critically discuss dance practice. Meaning into the body, as well as the body as a means for communicating, is directly associated with a specific cultural and historical context. The signifying body is affected by philosophical, literary, political, technological and artistic trends and tendencies which are embodied while performing. This constant transformation of the corporeal body is confronted, re-examined and re-orientated during the creation process in an attempt to express life issues of that particular time. This way of conceiving the body will constitute the main axis for the theoretical approaches during the conference.
