Next Thinking Out Loud October 19

Our inaugural Thinking Out Loud – the Study Group session last  Tuesday was fantastic. Thanks to everyone who came.

If you weren't there, we hope you can make it out to the next one, so we can share ideas and pretzels with you, too.

We will be posting our “notes” from the first session online in case you’re interested in checking out where our discussion ventured.

The next meeting will take place on Monday October 19th at 6:30pm.  We will once again be gathering in the studio at Dancermakers’ Centre for Creation (click here for a map/directions) on the 3rd floor.

All you need to do is RSVP and show up (with some spare change for a beer or a glass of wine).  Feel free to bring some dinner with you to eat during our discussion, or on the break we promise we will take around 7:45pm

We will be discussing Giorgio Agamben article What is the contemporary? which can be found on the a.aaaarg.org website by clicking here (you will need to register for the website in order to access the pdf – do it.)

We’ll also look at Reconstructing Dance: Taking an Active Interest in the Legacy of Dance: a short essay/website from the Goethe-Institut website.

Alternatively, swing by the Dancemakers office if you’d rather pick up a hard copy of both articles.

It’s a bit more challenging read – but we think worth it and good for conversation.

Although this next meeting is on a Monday, future dates for Thinking Out Loud are all Tuesdays:

December 1, January 5, February 2, March 2, March 30, and April 27.

Please continue to spread the word to friends, colleagues, teachers, and so on, if you think this might tickle their fancy.

We look forward to another stimulating exchange!
