For this public panel, chaired by Scott deLahunta and framed by comments from James Leach (social scientist leading the workshops), four choreographers will each make a short presentation of their research projects and engage in a public discussion about their shared aspirations for this work.

Choreographic Objects is a series of three interdisciplinary workshops focusing on the output of four research teams. The teams are working in collaboration with choreographers William Forsythe, Siobhan Davies, Wayne McGregor and Emio Greco|PC (Pieter C. Scholten) to develop new choreographic objects in the form of innovative scores, creative tools, installations and archival systems for dance. The workshops bring these choreographic initiatives together in the same investigative context with a group of social scientists to draw on their expertise in analysing unique object-making processes.

Choreographic Objects is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s new Beyond Text scheme.
