The Cycle of Talks “My Dance History” is a project created in 2011, by O Rumo do Fumo and Forum Dança, where personalities connected to contemporary dance are invited to publicly share their History of Dance.
My Dance
History
“All of us, dancers, choreographers or performers, have received in some way and by some route, more academic or more self-taught, an idea of the History of Dance, or the History of the Performing Arts, from which we feel “descended” (and perhaps we feel descended from several Histories at the same time!). There were certainly choreographic or scenic creators who made us understand the art we make the way we understand it today. Each one has a specific idea of how that History unfolded, and for each one there are certain creators and certain movements and artistic currents that contributed to configure the idea of dance that you have and practice and that, in some way, is responding to that History. These lectures will give us the opportunity to know the History of Dance that each one has created within themselves.”
