Nora Talks

Who decides what an audience sees? How do we encounter things beyond what we 'like'? How do we reach diversity and sustainability in the dance scene?

Nora Talks explores the relationship between curator, choreographer and performer in dance. This is a 90 minute event.

Over the last months, Nora, the three dancers Eleanor Sikorski, Flora Wellesley Wesley and Stephanie McMann, have been asking themselves and other artists these questions. In this talk and discussion they will share the fruits of this period of international research alongside guest speaker Jane Greenfield.

Eleanor Sikorski and Flora Wellesley Wesley have worked collaboratively and independently for many years: performing improvisation, touring festivals, writing about dance and curating live events. In 2014, with the support of Sadlers Wells and DanceEast, they formed Nora as a dancer-led project in which they are the curators as well as the dancers. In 2015 they were joined by Stephanie McMann.

Currently Nora is touring Nora Invites, an evening of duets by choreographers Liz Aggiss (UK), Simon Tanguy (FR) and Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion (UK).

"Intellectually curious, funny and rude, possessed of chameleon stage talents and a taste for risk." The Guardian (on Nora Invites)
