Choreographic poetry: performing text & words

During the workshop we investigate the use of dialogue, texts, words to influence and enhance performance, whether it is dance, physical theatre or visual art. We trace the history of companies, artists using narrative texts, speech, prose, drama, poetry, or introducing abstract words, voice into their performance and choreography. We discuss the model of language and linguistics within dance and performance from a structuralist and post-structuralist concept, challenge the connection between language and body, text and movement. We experiment the use of text, song and voice, and observe what it brings to the performance, how it modifies the relationship with the public, and how it influences the piece.
