About The Gesture & the Citizen
The Gesture & The Citizen is a multi-platform experiential learning tool based in concepts from movement analysis and choreography. It is a project that Dr. Anna B. Scott has had in the works for some time now, of which the speaker's series is one part. The Gesture & The Citizen also includes a reading list from the speakers, a blog, and a "discussion hall" led by Scott. It is an opportunity for anyone interested in how the world moves and mobilizes itself to meet makers, authors, and theorists for deep, focused discussions about society and the culture of dancing.
Show Box LA is supported, in part, by the the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs; and by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; and by a grant from the Metabolic Studio, a project of the Annenberg Foundation.
Anna will curate three talks in total for the Wild Mind. Future talks may address topics ranging from the practice of dance for the dancer, to race as (dance) genre, to how to use performance as a life hack (possibility device), to the medical and technological importance of the dancer's mind.
