Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt is a PhD fellow at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen. In her PhD, she examines practices of work and formation of time within artistic education and ways in which alumnae organize collectively in order to subvert neoliberal demands. From 2011 to 2015 she was artistic research associate at the BA “Dance, Context, Choreography” at HZT/University of the Arts in Berlin. Besides, she is working and internationally touring as performance artist and curated the festival WORKS AT WORK in Dansehallerne.

Samlingen – We, Amanda Apetrea, Nadja Hjorton, Halla Ólafsdóttir, Stina Nyberg and Zoë Poluch initiated Samlingen as a choreographic project to facilitate our common interest in choreography and feminism as it is intertwined with dance history. Over the past 5 years we have organized a series of events, made specifically for the time and situation in which they are performed, but always dealing with the history and herstory of dance. Now Samlingen is gathered in the context of Danske Dansehistorier where we want to write The Danish Dance herstory -in respect of the official and the unofficial, the told and untold, the celebrated and the ignored – based on memories, anecdotes and historical facts. We invite you to join us and map how we dance together, past present and future: methods, projected outcomes and lived outcomes.

FOOD
It will be possible to buy lunch for a very fair price both days of the symposium. Saturday evening there will be free tapas and drinks.
