Date: 23rd - 26th April
Adress: Urtegata 9, Oslo (entrance from Norbygata 12)
Please find more practical information below
The theme of this year’s conference is The Dancer and the Dance: practices, education, communities, traditions, and histories.
Throughout history the dancer has amongst other things been the focus of attention, admiration, despise and contempt. Being the situation for dance movement, steps, dances and choreography, the human body, and embodied practices are central in most dance contexts. Historically dance is practised, transformed, adapted, choreographed, invented, renewed, passed on, conserved, and understood as ever changing. One could argue that there is a mutual dependency between the dancer and the dance and that without the dancer dance simply does not exist, or is that necessarily so?
The 16th NOFOD conference addresses dancers’ experiences and actions, as well as different understandings of the dancer, dance, and dancing. The conference will present contributions in different formats, investigating the dancer, the dance, and their relationship from various perspectives and contexts.
The conference is open for everyone interested in this topic.
