Life Long Burning – Futures Lost and Found

An international symposium about alternative ways of documenting and (an)archiving dance by STUK, Life Long Burning and Counterpoint KU Leuven.

Re:wind - Expanding Documentation invites artists, scholars, dancers, archivists, heritage workers and activists to chart, critically reflect on and expand the idea of dance documentation. Highlighting the essential role of documentation in the transmission of dance, the symposium investigates how dance is translated, mediated, disseminated, and transformed into material and immaterial forms and how these forms actively shape the afterlives, meanings, and historiographies of dance.
