Dear colleagues and friends,
please see below information about the Choreographic Forum, a new initiative by the Society for Dance Research.
The forum is set up to enable a group of people to meet four times a year, watch a show together and gather one week later to discuss it.
We're starting with the Forsythe Company's performance "I don't believe in outer space" only a week from today at Sadler's Wells, for which we still have a few tickets booked at a reduced group booking rate for Weds 23 Feb, 7:30pm.
The discussion forum will take place on Weds 2 Feb, 6:30pm (venue tbc), where there will also be an opportunity to purchase Steven Spier's book "William Forsythe and the Practice of Choreography" at a reduced rate.
Please let us know if you'd like to sign up for our inaugural session on Weds 2 March, and/or book one of our reduced price tickets for Weds 23 Feb, by emailing us at: [log in to unmask]
We would also like to hear from you if you'd like to be included in our email list, and/or if you have any propositions about future shows you might want to see and discuss.
Finally, we would like to inform you that our next session will be held in mid-April 2011 in collaboration with Independent Dance and will focus on new work presented as part of 'What Now' (more information to follow).
We look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you at one of our meetings!
Best wishes

The Choreographic Forum is a new initiative aiming to support an exchange of thoughts on current dance and choreography. It is set up as a series of roundtable discussions, during which we will reflect on a performance that we will have watched together, in a theatre or elsewhere in London. We will meet four times a year, and each session will begin with two short statements by two invited speakers who will then lead the discussion.
