Block Universe and Tate invite a selection of artists, curators and  writers to reflect on contemporary choreographic practice. Responding to  the term ‘post-dance’, coined at the MDT conference in Stockholm  (2015), the event considers the implications of an expanded notion of  choreography.

Our contributors will be asked to issue provocations and responses  that consider choreography in artistic practice. Exploring questions  around liveness and the embodied labour of dance, join us in discussing  what this means for an expanded understanding of contemporary dance and  movement-related practices. Invited to present provocations are artists’  Malik Nashad Sharpe, Paul Maheke, Florence Peake & Eve Stainton  from the perspective of their collaboration and academic Amanda Øiestad  Nilsen. The event will be chaired by Curator of Nottingham Contemporary,  Cedric Fauq.

There will be space for group discussion with the audience during the  event. Following the event join us for a performance hosted by CAJ  COLLAB in the East Room. CAJ COLLAB is a collaborative platform that  invites two artists from different disciplines who have never worked  together before to create a piece of performance in one day.
