Dance Studies Colloquium: Ananya Chatterjea (University of Minnesota), "On Dancing from Located Mobilities: Ruminations on Transnational Feminist Choreography"

"I share reflections on my journey towards embracing a transnational portal into choreographic practice, and the complications that entails. What are the moral imperatives of this moment in dancing and dance-making? How do we invite artists, especially students, to move sensitively, with care, and an understanding of temporal and spatial “entanglement” as articulated by Achille Mbembe? Might dancing’s presence-full practice enable us to cultivate a layered awareness and kinesthetic expressivity?"

This event is open to the public and part of AIR.
