Whether you are a dance practitioner, audience, scholar, critic or student, how to read and respond to dance and movement-based performance is a constant concern. How do you make meaning of a work of art, informed by a sense of history, personal or collective experience, or some other lens? This programme addresses precisely these questions through playful and provocative, inventive, intuitive and interrogative participatory processes – much like how artists create their work. Led by a range of facilitators and with inputs from guest speakers, the series will invite and inspire participants to perceive closely, think critically, and create meaning that reaches beyond personal opinions and enters the realm of ideas that art – by its nature – imagines and inhabits.
Module 2
Flamenco without Borders (Flamenco sin fronteras)
with Annalouise Paul
Slaying the myths and rebuilding the narrative, the roots of flamenco still remain a mystery. Socio-political periods have changed its course and expansion internationally. Who are the keepers and custodians and how are they transmitting tradition through new pedagogies? In performance there is a wide diversity of artists to follow. We will learn who the current pioneers are now and how they are responding to global shifts in gender politics, climate change and identity in their works.
Over two days, Sydney choreographer-performer, Annalouise Paul will dialogue about the history and contemporary expression in Flamenco in Spain and the diasporic community. As with all Preludes, the sessions are open to anyone interested in dance, and will include a mix of talk and discussion, watching films, and learning some Flamenco!
