The seminar examines current arts-based research that explores the processes, challenges and techniques engaged by performers as they actively negotiate through and across cultural, gendered, and aesthetic differences. The seminar will include a group discussion on two assigned readings, and an audio-visual presentation on Intercultural (Asian Canadian) dance aesthetics, closing with reflections and thoughts from the participants. Part roundtable, part lecture, this boardroom gathering will spur participants into progressive discourse and thinking about the creative potential and complexity of intercultural dance practice.
