A two-day seminar hosted by HAUT, asking how live performance can be archived and how lived experiences can be remembered and commemorated through dance and performance. It brings artists, curators and researchers into conversation about memory, erasure and archiving in the performing arts.
The first day opens with a panel on HAUT's own archive of the Danish performing arts field, with former team members Naja Lee Jensen, Betina Rex and Sophie Grodin, in dialogue with HAUT's artistic leader Lili Blum. Vala T. Foltyn then leads a softer, embodied workshop drawing on practice at the crossing of politically engaged performance art, archiving and memory.
The second day opens with two keynotes by Nina Cramer and Storm Møller Madsen on counter-archives and the bodies traditionally left out of archives, moderated by Elizabeth Löwe Hunter and Phyllis Akinyi. Abdul Dube then leads a workshop on visual harvesting, a documentation method, followed by a Q&A. The seminar ends with a 'fredagsbar'.
