Body of Work. Doing Dance Heritage
by STUK
The Body of Work podcast of STUK explores the joys and challenges of dance heritage work. The first season focuses on dance repertory from the dancers' perspective. The transmission of dance from body to body, audience to audience, is what keeps dance alive. Repertory - choreographies from the past, revived, and performed again in the present - is a way of connecting us to work from the past. Through interviews with dance practitioners in the Flemish and international contemporary dance scene, we tap into lively stories, vast experience and deep insight, directly from the dance studio and the stage. STUK, House for Dance, Image and Sound is an art center in Leuven, Belgium. This podcast is made possible by DanceMap, funded by Horizon Europe, the European Union's funding programme for research and innovation. CREDITS concept Delphine Hesters researcher & narrator
