Dance Transformations Symposium

We are our own archive!
Does anyone want to see the process in a commercial environment?
Do we look for sameness or difference in inclusive dance? (do we need to sub-group?)
     Unison
     Human nature impulse to work as a unit but also individually
What does it mean to be an artist?
     Always wanting more, Responsibility, uniqe way of seeing the world
Is art only art if recognised as art? (Context)
What is the role of criticism in inclusive dance? (again do we need to sub-group?)
     Who is allowed to critique?
     Are there different standards by which we are critical, depending on the artist?
     Depends which stage the dancers are at.
Where does inclusive work sit within the broader dance ecology?
     Why are there labels?
     'Gatekeepers' controlling access to dance
     Seperate selves?
At what point does an artist need to go it alone?
When is the playing field level?
     Does anyone ever go it alone?
     Not constrained
     Never a level playing field for anyone
     Building up resources to deal with barriers.
How do we own our choreography?
     Acknowledgement? Belong to? Share? Embody?
     Why do we need to own?

How can I let go of the voices on my shoulder??

I'm wrong?
I'm right?

Year 2 Begins

After thinking over last year:
-All of my energy all of the time
-Show knowledge of my body in movement practice (Spend more time with my own movement)
-Treat my dance practice as one, rather than seperate componants
-Respond to all feedback
-QUESTION EVERYTHING

Setting myself aims I would like to acheive by each term and by the end of this year.
