The Choreographic Forum is an initiative aiming to support an exchange of thoughts on current dance and choreography. It is set up as a series of roundtable discussions, during which we reflect on a performance that we have watched together, in a theatre or elsewhere in London. We meet 2-3 times a year, and each session begins with short statements by invited speakers who then lead the discussion.
SDR are currently looking for 3 individuals to Co-Curate the next round of Choreographic Forum, see the below link:http://societyfordanceresearch.org/wp/2018/08/15/choreographic-forum-call-for-co-curators/
