Book launch for the 2nd edition of KOREOGRAFI / CHOREOGRAPHY

This evening the new edition of Koreografi / Choreography will be launched and our Danish contributors will join us in a conversation with the anthology as a starting point. The written will in this way be activated and continued live together with the audience.

The anthology Koreografi / Choreography will be published in the end of October and consists of texts written by artists within the Nordic field of dance and choreography. Each text is build around a specific issue requested by the editors and developed in dialogue with the contributors. All texts exist in both Scandinavian and English versions. With the anthology we wish to build a rich and complex understanding of what choreography is and can be. Our curatorial strategy is to facilitate the texts we miss and the conversations we have dreamt of reading, always inviting new voices so that the conversation is ever expanding.

The first edition of Koreografi / Choreography was initiated and edited by Solveig Styve Holte, Ann-Christin Berg Kongsness and Runa Skolseg in 2016. Venke Sortland is now joining the editorial team together with Kongsness and Holte for the second edition. Holte/Sortland/Kongsness are performers and choreographers living and working in Oslo. They share a common interest in writing and organizing seminars, workshops, conversations and reading circles that push the discourse in dance and choreography further. A new edition will be released every second year until ten books are made.
