Dance, contemporary architecture: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is to Henry van de Velde as Frédéric Flamand is to Zaha Hadid | with Susanne Franco
Saturday 13 April, 11.00
MAXXI Auditorium – admittance free while places available
This seminar will tackle the concept of space and the relationship between dance and contemporary architecture on the basis of a number of pieces by the Belgian choreographers Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Frédéric Flamand. In the first case, extracts will be presented from De Keersmaeker’s choreographies created to dialogue with spaces designed by Henry van de Velde and subsequently adapted for the screen by filmmaker and musician Thierry De Mey. The second case examines the research undertaken by Flamand with some of the leading names in architecture who have designed the sets for his show and will pay particular attention to his work with Zaha Hadid.
