DANCE GATHERINGS
Alice Chauchat
(2022-24)

“Dance Gatherings” are dance parties in open air, in which scores function as social dances. Instead of steps or style, the stories they hold about ways of relating to each other, to each other's dancing, are passed around and entered in smaller groups or duets, each in their own time, all at the same time. Each Gathering is prepared in a series of sessions where respondents to an open call learn and practice both dancing and explaining the scores.
