This episode is a conversation between dancers Kerem Gelebek and Soa Ratsifandrihana. Soa is a Franco-Malagasy dancer and choreographer based in Brussels. And Kerem is from Turkey and based in Paris, France. We’ll hear them discuss how they use the term interpreter in place of that of choreographer or dancer, and how their work integrates personal and cultural archives. They also speak about the challenges of creating work that incorporates their heritage without exoticizing it. You can read a full transcript of this episode and links to resources mentioned here.
This episode is a collaboration with Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels. This initiative supports choreographic heritage, nurtures contemporary creation and engages the widest possible audience in conversations about dance.
