Siobhan Davies in conversation with Mathieu Copeland
Re-envisaging the word ‘curator’ from a choreographic point of view

Tuesday 8 November, 7pm
Venue: Siobhan Davies Studios, 85 St George’s Road, London SE1 6ER
Price: £5/£3
Booking in advance is advised, please call 020 7091 9650

Stemming from conversations between Siobhan and Mathieu, the discussion explored the proximity between choreography and curating, and how curating an exhibition somehow shares the same materiality as choreography: time, and orchestration of time.

This talk formed part of Independent Dance's Crossing Borders series of conversations with artists whose particular practice has led them beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries.
