The opening session pairs Nejla Yatkin’s embodied workshop drawing upon patterns in nature and Middle Eastern dance traditions to explore contemporary movement creation alongside Michael Landez’s research into the rehearsal process as a re-viving technology that suggests any dance can be contemporary, including the re-staging of historical ballets.

What is Contemporary Dance, and How Might It Guide Us Back to Nature? | Nejla Yatkin – embodied workshop

Rehearsing the contemporary: from history to now and back again | Michael Landez (Northwestern University) – paper presentation
