This is the inaugural episode of the LACE Symposium podcast, the official podcast of the LACE Symposium for Dance and Other Contemporary Practices.
The host of this episode, dance artist, educator, and curator of LACE Symposium pavleheidler (pav) (they/them) (adhd/autism), talks to Yas Lamar (she/her), dance artist, curator, and one of the hosts of this year's LACE Extended spaces about artistry, the value of artistic sensibilities, and Lamar's contribution to this year's LACE Extended.
The central question the conversation revolves around is, What does your experience of being a dance artist and communicating through the medium of dance affords you; what kind of observational capacity, what kind of capacity to act?
This is the first in a series of conversations held with contributors to this year's symposium. With this series we are hoping to introduce the symposium, its curators, and the contributors to the public in anticipation of the event itself. In our conversations, we are committed to "leading by example". We're hoping that what we say and how we say it will introduce us in an affective way, in a different capacity perhaps from our bios and CVs. To find out more about who we are, and read our bios, please visit www.lacesymposium.com.
