\u201cIn this talk, I am interested in thinking about what might be revealed in the dark, particularly by considering some recent choreographic performances where darkness appears as the key element of an illumination without light. Following recent theoretical-aesthetic propositions by Fred Moten, Mette Ingvartsen, Jonathan Crary, Tino Sehgal, Manuel Pelmus, Eszter Salomon, I would like to explore how darkness offers the possibility of a collective modality of experience where depersonalisation<\/em> and speculation<\/em> coassemble a non-enlightened critical stance in order to propose a more resonant aesthetics, away from photological imperatives.\u201d \u00a0– Andr\u00e9 Lepecki.<\/p>\n The talk is organised in the frame of the \u201cE-Motional: rethinking dance\u201d programme, in connection with the workshop \u201cPerformance and choreographic imagination\u201d held by Andr\u00e9 Lepecki in Bucharest between May 18-22, gathering over 20 dance artists, curators, critics and managers from \u00a0Romania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Israel, Norway and Serbia.
