“Because our conceptual systems grow out of our bodies, meaning is grounded in and through our bodies.”
Dancemakers supported Lucy Rupert in revisiting one of Dancemakers’ most well-documented works: Serge Bennathan’s “Chronicles of a Simple Life” as part of our 50th Anniversary
In 2024, Dancemakers turned 50 years old.
This was a time of crucial and critical looking back for Dancemakers. As a way to commemorate this anniversary, we worked with Artist Researchers to read “against the grain” of our archive, which is housed at Dance Collection Danse (DCD) located at 2 Carlton St Unit 1303 in Tkaranto.
Each artist researcher was given a one-week (paid) Writing Residency at Dance Collection Danse (or remotely using DCD’s digital archives) with the intention to produce content that will permanently live on Dancemakers’ website.
