Peer to Peer | September 28 | 5 – 7 PM | Huset-KBH
We have invited Vincent Jonsson to facilitate this evening and he invites us to dive into the topic of studio practice – How spending time in the studio can be a support and vehicle for working as freelance-dance-artist.
By practicing we create a way of understanding things through the doing, which can be a tool or a vehicle to understand and relate to theoretical and linguistic knowledge. By practicing we accumulate a bank of tacit knowledge. Theory and practice are fantastic companions for working and developing dance and artistic work. Studio practice is something many dance artists spend a lot of time with and have a lot of experience with. We do it, but we do not talk so much about it. I would like to open a conversation about the concept of studio practice.
So hopefully, we can inspire each other and also get a deeper understanding of the subject.
The evening will contain a presentation and conversation between dance-artists Antoinette Helbing (DE/DK), Sophia Mage (US/DK), and Vincent Jonsson (SE/DK). They will share and talk about how they work with their studio practices and how it relates to their artistic, pedagogical, and performative work. Everyone will also be invited to talk about and elaborate on the concept of studio practice.
What is Peer to Peer?
Peer to Peer is a series of events focusing on professional sharings and conversations about dance, choreography, and its impact. You will meet colleagues in a facilitated yet casual space, where we share knowledge and are curious about what is happening in the field – and with each other.
During the season, we address different topics, and the individual events are facilitated by one or more invited artists.
We start by meeting for half an hour of informal conversation and something to drink in the café. Then we continue with presentations with guest(s) of the day. After the event, it is possible to continue the conversations in the café, where you can buy something to eat.
The topic and format are chosen by the invited artist in collaboration with Dansehallerne. How you choose to participate in the event is up to you.
We meet approximately twice a month, and the event is in English. You do not need to sign up – just show up. However, there is only room for 40 participants so the spots is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis on the evening itself.
In the autumn Peer to Peer will take place from 5-7 pm in Huset-KBH, Balsalen (1st floor next to Spisehuset), Rådhusstræde 13, 1466 Copenhagen.
Further information about the meeting will be communicated in advance on Dansehallerne’s website, Facebook and Instagram.
We regularly collect relevant topics and inspiration for the program, so feel free to send an email to producer Anna Katrine, akk@dansehallerne.dk, if you have any suggestions.
