LocoMotion – Movement as Meaning CONTEMPORARY DANCE FESTIVAL 29 th October – 7 th November 2009

This is the second edition of the LocoMotion contemporary dance festival that, this year as well, aims to present an overview of the current discourses and practices in the field of contemporary dance, here and throughout the world.

Our motto Movement as meaning is meant to stress the fact that contemporary dance is an art form which through the signs in various concepts – the choreographic scores – communicates with us at different levels. These signs are numerous, and develop every day  through diverse research of the body, its communication with various subjects, the existence in certain contexts, relations to given media and actions, and placement in different situations. more...
