Dance Discourse Night at CounterPulse | SoMa

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In the not so distant past, it seemed as if only humans aged 17 to 32 could show up on Western concert dance stages. Recent blurring of disciplinary boundaries, and aesthetic and cultural innovations embracing diversity have made more room for aging bodies in the contemporary performance space.

In DDP12, moderators Mary Armentrout and Jessica Robinson Love and panelists Jess Curtis, Petra Kuppers, and Dr. Albirda Rose examine some of the causes, effects, opportunities and complications of this shift, and then open the discussion up world cafe style to include the audience in this investigation.
