Glitch Dance with Dr. Thomas DeFrantz


About This Event

CNY Humanities Working Group MP28: Evolving Practices in Dance & Embodiment invites pedagogues, critical practitioners, researchers, and scholars to attend Glitch Dance. During this event, Dr. DeFrantz will explore the glitch of dancing with critical theory, anti-colonial, queer-affirming phenomenologies of presence. How can you matter in your dancing beyond the improvised solo, towards the tiktokking flash of a distributed spirit, ready for Insta? What can it mean to care towards gesture in assembly, imaginary or virtual, or right here and right now?
