During the first phase (research), Chauchat and Polanská, together with dancers Nhung Dang (CZ) and Ran Jiao (CN/CZ), explore the internal dynamics of the exhibition’s hanging and their possible echoes in choreographic structures. Next year, the team will present the results of this process as a dance performance.
We invite you to encounter the work in progress during two presentations where the artists will share their latest experiments and engage in framed conversations.
About Dance in the Gallery
Dance and movement transform art galleries. Visitors discover new ways of understanding and perceiving visual art. In parallel, choreographers, curators, and visual artists share their know-how and enrich each other’s professional and artistic work or communication with the public.
Dance in the Gallery is a transdisciplinary project exploring multi-layered connections between movement and visual arts in the site-specific context of an art museum. The Centre for Choreographic Development SE.S.TA has organised the project annually since 2012 with the National Gallery Prague and other galleries and museums.
