Anthology Rudi Laermans

item

In het Nederlands

Rudi Laermans is one of Belgium’s most important art sociologists who has published extensively on dance policy, the body, popular culture, and on the course of some specific choreographers. Sarma republishes online about 80 key texts by Rudi Laermans. The selected texts reflect upon the work of choreographers such as Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Vincent Dunoyer, Jan Lauwers, Jan Fabre, Deep Blue, Forsythe, Meg Stuart... but also upon themes such as The Flemish Wave, the body, theatricality, dance and culture policy... Most of the texts were originally published in Dutch between 1995 and 2005 in several books and magazines, e.g. the Flemish performance magazine Etcetera.

The anthology was presented in Vooruit in 2009 with a performance lecture by Rudi Laermans, in collaboration with Burkhard Stangl. The performance lecture was called The Sound of Movement.
