Conference Theme

22+100: Laban and the Modernist Project makes a reference to the Brazilian 1922 Modern Art Week, a cultural festival staged at the Opera House of the city of São Paulo, in February of 1922, as perceived 100 years later. 

The festival, which presented more than one hundred new works of art, became the symbolic marker of the Modernist movement in Brazil, and its artistic repercussions still resonate nowadays. Nevertheless, current scholarship questions why some pioneer artists were not included, and why dance was practically ignored.

22+100: Laban and the Modernist Project  is interested in inquiring how Modernist parameters influenced the performing arts across the world and if/how it continues to inspire artists-researchers to experiment with new ideas. 

Valerie Preston-Dunlop is a keynote speaker.
