The full programme for Light Moves festival of screendance 2015 will be launched on Tuesday 15 September at 6pm at Culture House, 2 Pery Square. We are delighted that Paul Johnson, Chief Executive of Dance Ireland, will launch the programme.
Light Moves takes place at Dance Limerick from 19-22 November and follows the highly successful inaugural event last year. Ireland’s only screendance festival, Light Moves is dedicated to the art of dance film and video art with movement as a central theme. The festival is a response to the vibrant and expanding field of dance film / screendance in Ireland. Combining classics, family screenings, invited works, open submissions, and explorations of screendance with some of the most respected figures in the field, Light Moves will feature a host of different events.
Light Moves Screendance Symposium sits within the Light Moves festival and aims to encourage artistic and scholarly exchange, debate and discussion in screendance and related disciplines including performance, dance, film, visual arts, sound and text.
The theme of this year’s symposium is “Peeling Away the Layers”, which kindles an exploration and interrogation of the tendencies and scope of screendance. It values an unpacking of current thinking and practices, as well as proposals for future aesthetics within the wider context of art-making and theorising.
Full details to follow on September 15th!
