TO MOVE WITH OR AGAINST

The choreographers Xiri Tara Noir and Boaz Barkan in an open debate about what choreography is today, and about how their practices aims to activate the engagement of all participants with the work in question.

Choreography is the capacity to make any activity generate potential.
How do we as choreographers activate movement, and can choreography be another way of thinking in terms of political actions.

Xiri Tara Noir 
Independent activist, performance artist and choreographer.
In her choreographic practice she examines the edges that separates academic research from our everyday gestures and practices. Within a variation and exchange of social roles her work explores the boundaries and hierarchies between “artist” and “audience”, and between what it means to be observing or participating in an event.
