imagining     the imagination of     the other

choreographer and head of the dance and participation master's programme laura navndrup black identifies the radical artistic potential in a collaborative practice involving young and adult choreographers. this project rejects expressive movement in favour of expressive concepts, and proposes a collaborative enquiry that focuses on the child-adult relation as aesthetic subject.

 

imagining (the imagination of) the other! is a choreographic enquiry that approaches the child as choreographer and as choreographic material; as a capable performance maker as well as a particular presence on stage; as someone who is taken seriously as a contributor of meaning.

​

through practical intergenerational collaborations, the project rejects expressive movement in favour of expressive concepts and task-dance. it proposes an artistic enquiry that focus on the child-adult relation as aesthetic subject and aims to develop ways of collaborating, that do not favour one set of experiences over another.

​

this performance iteration deals specifically with ways of seeing and being seen.
