What will dance make of us? Talks about agency of dance and choreography
To broaden the knowledge of dance and choreography, WOK is preparing a series of conversations with dance practitioners entitled What will dance make of us? developed by Joanna Leśnierowska. The aim of the series is to find answers to the question: What can regular contact with dance, and experiencing and practising it, offer us, each of us individually, and us as a community?
We will explore the responsibility and agency of dance and choreography, what it means in a social context, what knowledge and skills it generates, and how it can be shared.
