A rare chance to meet one of Denmark’s most internationally acclaimed choreographers in conversation.

On the opening day of OPENINGS September 9, Mette Ingvartsen joins Danjel Andersson, Director and Artistic Lead of Dansehallerne, for an in-depth conversation revisiting her Yes Manifesto from 2004 - and asking what saying YES might mean for contemporary dance today.

Bringing together Ingvartsen’s artistic practice and Andersson’s extensive knowledge and experience from across the international dance field, the conversation offers a chance to get close to the ideas, shifts and questions shaping dance today.

And there’s more: the conversation opens with a special video contribution by André Lepecki, Professor of Performance Studies at NYU Tisch.

Ingvartsen is also at OPENINGS with the internationally acclaimed SKATEPARK, touring extensively around the world and playing at Dansehallerne 10–12 September. Don’t miss this either!
