Delta – The Page as a Stage a two day symposium thinking with and through choreography and printed matter.
Friday 28 April, 18:00-21:00
Saturday 29 April, 12:00-17:00
Delta – The Page as a Stage is a two-day exchange and coming together arranged by Pontus Pettersson and Izabella Borzecka, with the intention to discuss, reflect and share how choreography is practiced and manifested in printed matter, how text and publications can be understood as formats for choreographic inquiries, and how they can be seen as works in themselves.
The event is a format to exchange practices and ideas, and try out experiments together. This is the third wave of the Delta project with the desire to enable further publications, performances and gatherings.
Delta – The Page as a Stage is made together with Galerie (Adriano Wilfert Jensen & Simon Asencio), Paloma Madrid, Sara Kaaman, Stina Nyberg, Tova Gerge, Alice MacKenzie. Oda Brekke, Litó Walkey, Delta (Izabella Borzecka & Pontus Pettersson) Reading Edge Library, Index Foundation.

About Delta
Delta is a series of coming togethers, a place where choreographic and performative work can be shared and exercised, a place to share work by doing the work. Body to body, bodies and body. A container for participatory projects, publications, dancing, exchange, and choreographic inquiries. Delta is organised by choreographer and artist Pontus Pettersson and curator Izabella Borzecka/PAM.
