Dear all, You may also be interested in this event Centre for Dance Research: Professor Steven Spier, Head of School of Architecture and Design, University of Ulster, editor of William Forsythe and the Practice of Choreography. It Starts from Any Point (Routledge: 2011), the first English-language book on Forsythe - 'Choreography and Society' Wednesday 16 March 2011, Lawrence 008, 5.30pm As William Forsythe was finishing his 20-years as artistic director of the Ballett Frankfurt, he was concurrently head of the renowned Theater am Turm, which was also being closed. This paper posits his work in those years, 2002-4, as unusually political and explicitly interested in the public or social place of choreography, theater and the body. http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/dance/events/index.html With best wishes Andrée Professor Andrée Grau Professor of the Anthropology of Dance Convener MA Dance Anthropology http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/staff/AndreeGrau/ Dance Programmes Froebel College Roehampton University Roehampton Lane London SW15 5PJ ________________________________ From: Dance in higher education.

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]<mailto:[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!
