Why?
We chose to do this because we feel very strongly about creating opportunities for emerging artists, and in this case artists from different countries, to come together to exchange ideas and experiences. The dialogue event itself is not a public event, as it is about challenging artists to talk about their work, to understand each other‚ work, and to share their practice without judgement.
In order to help them on this journey we have asked Thomas Lehmen, an established artist from Germany (and nottdance regular) and UK producer Rose Fenton, co-founder of LIFT (London International Festival of Theatre) to mentor the artists.
What can you see?
There are several public elements to this dialogue:
• Sharings during nottdance in Nottingham and London
• Thomas Lehmen‚ latest piece Heromatik
• Join the debate with Crossing Borders
All the artists taking part in the nottdance dialogue will be showing work during the festival in Nottingham or London. Some will be sharing work in progress, some more finished extracts of existing work revisited for nottdance08.
