Studies Project: Minimalism and Its Dis(contents)
A panel discussion will follow with the artists and invited panelists. Minimalism, always one to create divergent reactions in viewers, is the jumping off point for the evening's performances and discussion. This Studies Project examines the interest and disfavor in minimalism as an aesthetic in contemporary dance. We will look at how choreographers have used this aesthetic as inspiration, an oppositional point of view and a tool for creating their own compositional rules and theatrical practices. In discussion we will also examine its historical development, (mis)perceptions, and the relationship between minimalism in dance to that of minimalism in music and the visual arts. Curated by Trajal Harrell.
