Please do not touch: Dancing in the Museum

Marie-Louise Crawley (University of Coventry) asks how choreography within museum and gallery spaces might allow for the emergence of new multimodal dialogues between body, space, time and art object, how it might offer us a new ‘multimodal’ approach for understanding how history is exhibited, or even for understanding history itself?

This presentation will consider these questions by exploring two case studies drawn from her own choreographic practice-as-research: choreography produced in the art gallery as part of the TATE / ARTIST ROOMS Robert Therrien exhibit in 2014, and her current project in the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, Oxford (2017).
