C-DaRE Invites...Jonathan Burrows

As part of our C-DaRE invites… series we are delighted to invite you to a talk by Jonathan Burrows, Senior Research Fellow at C-DaRE. The talk will be followed by a discussion and lunch.

Please RSVP to cdare.fah@coventry.ac.uk by 23rd March if you would like to join us. The event is free and open to all.

The Talk

Jonathan Burrows gives a talk originally written for the series Realities of the Scripted, curated by HfMDK Frankfurt and the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies, University of Gießen. The Gaps Between questions what a script is, how it might relate to the notion of an expanded choreographic field, and when and how that might be useful or not. The talk is a temporary archive of fragments of thoughts and images from a number of sources, with a particular focus on the performance work of Mette Edvardsen and Vlatka Horvat.
