Description
The Institute for Choreology of the Music and Dance Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague announces a call for papers for an international conference Choreology – Past and Present.
The conference will be held on November 29, 2024 in the Gallery of the Music and Dance Faculty, HAMU Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Malostranské náměstí 13, Prague 1.
The aim of the conference is to present thematic spectrum and methods of contemporary choreology and the main lines of dance research. In an international dialogue, the intention is to contribute to the definition of the current state and context of Czech dance theory and choreology as a specific discipline dealing with dance as an independent art form, for whose distinctive nature it is necessary to search for appropriate theoretical approaches and tools and ways of constituting the knowledge.
This year's conference builds on the conclusions of the international conference held by the Institute for Choreology in 2022, which proved the importance and benefits of meeting and having discussions among choreologists from various countries with different backgrounds of their discipline. Dialogue on aspects of the very nature, forms and concepts of our shared discipline not only contributes to the internal formation of the field and advances the development of scientific methods, but also helps to motivate, educate, and nurture a new generation of dance scholars.
