Dance History(s): Imagination as a Form of Study @ The Chocolate FactoryAn interrogation of dance history from the embodied and poetic perspectives of choreographers
🗓️ Tuesday, October 2, 2024 | 7 PM ET
📍 Chocolate Factory, Long Island City, New York 🔗 RSVP here
Please join us at the Chocolate Factory where we’ll launch and celebrate Dance History(s) with its editors and authors! The event is free and open to the public.
Authored by twelve diverse American dance artists in the form of twelve small booklets, Dance History(s): Imagination as a Form of Study approaches and celebrates dance history as a subjective, artistic inquiry. Written by working choreographers, it reimagines and radicalizes our understanding of dance throughout human history. Simultaneously, the project is dedicated to the power of an artist-centric view of history itself, thus placing the dance history back into the body, where it began. Here, history occurs in vertical layers of time and space and moves into the street, the football field, the yard, the screen, the memory, the womb, the sky, and the future.
