The Choreographic Forum is a moderated discussion of experts and fans of dance, performance and contemporary art, held as part of the international festival 4 + 4 Days in Motion.

The discussion focuses on a specific topic based on the dance and performance aspects of the performance. Through the discussions, we seek to understand the themes and phenomena that influence artists' thinking and artistic production. And in this way, to enrich the collective knowledge of our dynamically developing field. The chosen theme for this year is "The position of the creator vs. the position of the audience".

Discussions will be led by experts:

Irene Filiberti (dance critic and artistic advisor working for Centre Pompidou, FR), Markéta Fantová (scenographer and artistic director of PQ, CZ), Linus Gratte (curator of performing arts and public programme at Centre Pompidou, FR), and other guests.

Discussions will be held in English.

The Choreographic Forum is addressed to:

(1) The professional public: dance professionals - active dancers, choreographers, dance teachers, dance students, dance critics and journalists, curators, theoreticians, artists from different disciplines - visual artists, architects, scenographers, etc.

(2) The general public: audiences interested in understanding contemporary choreography and contemporary visual art.
