NATIONAL DANCE FORUM 2011

presented by AUSDANCE NATIONAL AND THE AUSTRALIA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS

SATURDAY 19 – SUNDAY 20 MARCH

ARTS HOUSE, NORTH MELBOURNE TOWN HALL

The National Dance Forum will gather together some of Australia’s most exciting dancers, choreographers, curators, critics and collaborators in a lively discussion over two days. The first national forum of its kind for many years, its overarching aim is to provide an opportunity for the dance sector to reflect on the state of dance practice in Australia now, and to chart a course for the future.

Through keynote conversations with established artists, and a series of interactive panel and roundtable sessions, the forum will invite participants to explore the many ways we practise and refine our artform: in and out of the studio, and both in and outside the process of making performance work. Topics to be explored will include understanding and articulating one’s practice, feedback and reflection, career development, collaboration, dramaturgy, new media and the digital technologies, hybrid and interdisciplinary practice, dance on film and dance in communities.

Speakers at the National Dance Forum will be drawn from across the country and from across cultural backgrounds and practices, with a sprinkling of special overseas guests. Featuring Keynote speakers Raymond Blanco, Kate Champion and Pichet Klunchun (Thailand). Emerging artists will have a voice through a dedicated panel and broad representation across the event.

Pichet Klunchun is a Kenneth Myer Asian Theatre Series Artist in Residence at the Arts Centre, Melbourne
