Body Politic is Dance Umbrella’s strand of discussions and debates focusing on key cultural issues affecting dance and performance.
How does a climate of censorship affect art? There are different ways of not being allowed to speak. In this discussion, we ask artists how issues of censorship, both public and private, are reflected in their art. How does censorship affect the language of the body? Are there things we cannot say, even when not using language?
This event will be chaired by Julia Farrington, Index on Censorship.
The panel will include Dance Umbrella 2016 (DU16) Festival choreographer Jamila Johnson-Small, Natalia Kaliada, founding co-artistic director of Belarus Free Theatre and Pelin BaÅŸaran, an arts curator and producer from Turkey.
This is a Dance Umbrella initiative, presented in partnership with Free Word, Index on Censorship and One Dance UK.
