Our next event is going to be a half-day, online exploration of how the dance industry might organise ourselves ‘otherwise’ with five wonderful presenters from within and beyond the dance industry.

(The event is free, but booking is required; the Zoom link will be circulated prior to the event).
This online event gathers presentations and discussions on how a dance pluriverse – a more horizontally organized industry with space for many, divergent voices to coexist – can be organised. What structures bring artists together, what frameworks support marginalised practices, and what production and distribution practices could be developed to create plurivocal development?
The aim of the event is to build dialogue with different voices engaged in ‘curating’ this type of pluriversal space. Presenters will talk about how, in practical terms, they have employed strategies in their work aimed at acting and ‘being otherwise’ (working differently). They will offer insights into tools and techniques that they have found useful in their work, and reflect on particular modes of relating ‘otherwise’ which they have employed with individuals, collectives and organizations to bring about change.
We’re interested in perspectives and experiences that help us understand how the dance industry in the UK can become more inclusive in a real sense (not just to tick boxes). What frameworks do we need? What structures? What understandings of power? What models of distribution of resources.
We look forward to seeing you online on the 6th November!
