BOOK LAUNCH
PUSH: IT WILL COME LATER
30th of June at 10:00 – 11:15 CET (Central European Time)

The publication reflects on the challenges of collaboration and on the conditions for a practice of working with others within the international landscape of contemporary dance. This book is not a conclusion nor a manual which offers fully realised solutions. Nonetheless, it is a multipurpose space of exchange, of describing personal experiences, of unfolding recurrent problems, of raising questions and of suggesting practices that could potentially be relevant for the readers who find themselves in similar situations.

The event will include short presentations from five speakers who have worked in International Contemporary Dance Collective 2018 – 2020 and collaborated on the preparation of the book PUSH: IT WILL COME LATER then we will have a dynamic conversation with our audience who can present questions on both the webinar and on Facebook.

All iCoDaCo 2018-2020 artists: Imre Vass – Hungary, Eddie Ladd – Wales, Lee Brummer – Sweden, Weronika Pelczynska – Poland, Joseph Lee – Hong Kong, Mui Cheuk Yin – Hong Kong, Hampus Bergenheim – Sweden, will be present at the event so the audience can ask questions to any of them.
