The post-conference publication “Immersions” is now available!
With great joy and relief, we have completed work on the post-conference publication of the 2nd Interdisciplinary Academic Conference “Immersions. Questions of Fluidity in Choreography and Dance.”
The process took several months and involved many ups and downs along the way, but we have learned a great deal and are taking this experience forward. We are happy to announce that, starting today, the publication is available as an ebook in the NCK online store.
Price: 30 PLN
The publication is available only in Polish.
Our joy is doubled, as this is also the very first publication of the Krakow Choreographic Centre.
“The idea of publishing a post-conference volume first emerged during the inaugural edition of the conference, and we are very happy that with the second edition we managed to bring this idea to life — to collect the texts and publish them in the form of this ebook. For us, immersions are also about the possibility of fluidly delving into the ideas proposed by the speakers after the conference has ended, about returning to particular topics and drawing inspiration from them. We wanted to give participants the opportunity to further develop their presentations, originally delivered within the short timeframe of a conference talk, and to create an extension — an archive of these thoughts.”
