Following the invitation launched by the Ratiu Foundation / Romanian Cultural
Centre in London, choreographer and arts manager Cosmin Manolescu
will make an introduction on the contemporary dance scene in Romania in the
frame of Culture Power.
The video lecture ‘Dance.Ro – Romanian contemporary dance
today’ will give an insight into recent developments on the
contemporary dance scene in Romania. It will be illustrated with video clips
from ‘Dans.Ro 2007’, a special DVD produced by Gabriela Tudor
& Project DCM Foundation with the support of Romanian Ministry of
Culture, as well as with excerpts from different Romanian choreographers and
projects. A Q&A session will follow.
This event is dedicated to the memory of Gabriela Tudor, an arts manager who
played a major role in the development of contemporary dance in Romania.
