Dance Ville to host DIDACON2016

After two successful outings, Dance Ville is set to host the third edition of the Dance Ville International Dance Conference DIDACON2016. This year the theme is “Make Dance Work”

As the theme implies this year’s conference is targeted towards the spread of activities, responsibilities and structures for a vibrant dance industry. As the Governor of Dance Ville put it

 “Dance as an industry is made up or different levels, categories and types of professionals. Apart from the dancers and choreographers which everyone knows about, we have the directors, teachers, researchers, technical people, costumes, writers, producers, venue owners, music composers, financiers … several groups of individuals are involved in a proper dance production: either on stage and screen. 

People need to know the options they have to expand their client base and/or product versatility. This conference is not only for dancers but also for people in other genres of professions. We are providing a platform for dancers, dance practitioners and others in dance related activities to take advantage of options to sustain a life long career, and other professionals to take advantage of options dance provides to increase the quality of their services or products”

The conference is slated to hold from the 11^th -18^th of September 2016 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State Nigeria and will round up as usual with the Amethyst Dance Awards.

The call for papers and workshop proposals are still open. If you missed it please check here.

QDance Sessions: Coming soon

 

The QDance Session is a performance lab initiated by the QDanceCenter, Ikoyi. A semi curated gathering of performers, curious audience, creative minds, story tellers, seekers of truth, makers of beauty, workers and students of life amongst others, coming together just as they are, for a rare moment of sharing and for the purpose of creatively occupying the "Now".

During these sessions, dance, live music, improvisations, discussions etc, will effortlessly converge and intersect, in an air of simplicity and of spontaneity, that takes on the forms of improvisatory drive, which blurs the lines between prior compositions and on-the-spot improvisation, creating an hybrid verb-space where actions speak louder than words, where memories are expanded through the five senses, where thoughts are reformed and new meanings are given to known forms.

It shouldn't be unusual that in an intense city like Lagos, for a small crowd to assemble on a Saturday evening, for a session of beauty. This gathering doesn't have the outlook of neither a performance per say, nor is it an open mic, it is simply a circle which allows the coming-through of our own inner music, it can be imagined as an open jam sessions that leads nowhere. Using basic principles of performance, as a way to look into and examine the growth of human interactions, where every participant is an important component, and the simple beauty of that interaction shall be our bottom line.

Due to limited spaces, the event can only accomodate 30 guests, so it is advisable to make a reservation by sending us a mail via info@qdancecenter.com or visit qdancecenter.com.
