SYMPOSIUM
July 7-12, 2014 
THE LIVE LEGACY PROJECT:  CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN GERMAN CONTEMPORARY DANCE AND JUDSON DANCE THEATER MOVEMENT
 
A PROJECT BY TANZFONDS ERBE

The Live Legacy Project seeks to share the practices and techniques sprouted by the 1960s American avant garde and that migrated to Germany, often through the Dutch institutions (e.g. School for New Dance Development and European Dance Development School). The project reveals these revolutionary influences in German Contemporary Dance training, and highlights the visibility of such corporeal values in choreographic work and practice. What exactly are these embodied philosophies, and what kinds of cultural shifts have been enabled by their transmission?
 
The Live Legacy Project celebrates this movement by bringing together choreographers, dance artists, scholars, and educators, to converge in a six-day symposium. They will share their movement practices and stories through intensive workshops, lectures and conversations, and performances.
 
Funded by Tanzfonds Erbe - an initiative by the The German Federal Cultural Foundation. 
 

Come to tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf and join us for this landmark event.
