Ecologies of dramaturgy in dance creation: a conversation
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Angélique Willkie is a a Jamaican-born, Black, cisgender woman dancer and dramaturg. Two parallel
interests have gradually emerged over the course of her professional career—the performer’s
contribution to the creative process, and the dynamics of the necessarily collaborative operation
that is contemporary choreography. The interview with this artist-scholar explores her experiences
in the creative process of the dance performance, Confession Publique, for which she occupies the
triadic role of dramaturg, dancer and auto-ethnographic researcher. It is a dialogical conversation
amongst interdisciplinary artists and researchers of the Dramaturgical Ecologies project (housed
at Concordia University, CAN). Beyond an interview, this polyvocal project—centred around
themes of agency, dramaturgy, embodiment, and movement—migrated from the physical to the
virtual in response to the biopolitical reconfiguration engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This transition activated tensions and resonances in the dialogue. The result takes the form of a
reflective, performative text crafted through a collective thinking process.
