Abstract
In conversation with dance artist Christopher Roman, this presentation wonders how is the dancer’s contribution staged in the work, as well as how the work commissioned by a dancer impacts upon power relations, authorship and ownership of the work. OUT, Roman’s recent collaboration with artist Ivo Dimchev (DanceOn Ensemble, Out of Now Festival Berlin, 2018), will serve as a case study. Drawing upon Hito Steyerl’s concept of ‘signal and noise’ (2017) this dialogic presentation looks at the broad and fine grain distinctions between the rhetorical and potent modes of the performer’s ‘agency’ (or its im/possibility) in performer-led dance commissions.
