Togethering, a group solo

Performance by Alice Chauchat
In the frame of Tanznacht-Forum 2015

'Togethering, a group solo' embraces dance as an expression, a social activity and a collective process. Presenting us with a series of proposals in which dance is both a means and an end to togetherness, including a lecture on speech and agreement within groups, a telepathic dance and a poetry reading, Alice Chauchat shares some aspects of the collective imagination she has been practicing over the past 15 years in the field of dance and choreography.

Length: about 40 minutes

in English

Dance, text, performance: Alice Chauchat Production: Alice Chauchat, with the support of the Theaterschool (Amsterdam)
