Mapping the historical lineages, geographical specificities and hybrid influences of Southeast Asian (dance) dramaturgical practices.

 

Building on the work of the Asian Dramaturgs – Network during the residency, Guy Cools intends to exchange and learn from the practices of colleagues in Southeast Asia. Through dialogue, Cools will engage in a series of in-depth conversations with various Southeast Asian colleagues to better understand the uniqueness, diversity and hybrid influences of their dance dramaturgical practices.
