Biennale Dance
The 6th International Festival of Contemporary Dance by the Venice Biennale will this year “talk about” beauty: with performances, workshops, meetings and a video installation accompanying the event, running from 14th to 29th June in Venice. With Beauty, the title of the Festival, director Ismael Ivo extends his research on the body, which characterised the preceding editions, and creates a new current for exchange between dance and the contemporary world.
Biennale Dance
6th International Festival of Contemporary Dance Twelve performances – five of which to be world premiered –, a workshop whose results will be four new creations by young choreographers, and a video-installation visible for the whole duration of the festival: this is Beauty, the Venice Biennale’s 6th International Festival of Contemporary Dance, directed by Ismael Ivo. The festival will take place in the venues of the Venice Arsenale and at the Teatro Malibran. On 14th June, the event will be opened by a symposium in order to debate the theme of beauty with dancers and choreographers, as well as scholars, writers and journalists. On 17th June, the prestigious award for lifetime achievement, the Golden Lion, will be presented to the Prague-born artist Jirí Kylián, the choreographer and creative spirit of the Nederlands Dans Theater.
