For writers and artists with a developed writing practice.

We talk about the things we do and make being ephemeral. As if we lasted. As if we had anything more than a little time and a little space ourselves in which to wrap around and through and under all of it. This is a writing/making/thinking/talking lab for artists interested in spending fifteen hours’ worth of their non-renewable resources so as to explore collectively shaped questions and speculations. The Keir Choreographic Award will be one of myriad starting points.

This workshop is for 12 participants, selected via EOI. Participants will have access to all shows, conversations and talks as part of the KCA program.

Claudia La Rocco is a 2020 KCA Jury Member.

Dancehouse 2020 Keir Choreographic Award Public Program

Presented by Dancehouse in partnership with Abbotsford Convent, LGI/WYXZ, Temperance Hall, Chunky Move, The Commons/Fringe, University of Melbourne/Victorian College of the Arts, The Mill Adelaide

Dancehouse’s Keir Choreographic Award (KCA) Public Program accompanies the KCA competition and is an integral part of this initiative and of Dancehouse’s ongoing commitment to promote dialogue, reflection, accessibility and criticality for the art form, its makers and its audiences. It aims to cross-pollinate an array of outstanding thinkers and practitioners from the dance field and other communities of thought  in order to provide a unique context in which to consider the deep, subtle ways that dance, with its multiplicity of choreographed and embodied manifestations, connects to the social, the ethical, the political and as importantly, to our most inner selves.
