Finale programme of
Edition IX – Bodies and Technologies now online!

Amsterdam, 8 September 2023

 

Dear reader,

 

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the Finale programme of Edition IX – Bodies and Technologies, taking place in Amsterdam between September 2023 and February 2024, and including presentations of new productions and publications by Susanne Altmann, Black Speaks Back, Devika Chotoe, Samia Henni, Nuraini Juliastuti, Grant Watson, and Constantina Zavitsanos.

 

Edition IX commenced in July 2022 and has since then been shaped by each of the commissioned artists and researchers through their specific trajectories, parts of which are shared in our online If I Can’t Dance Studio. In the coming months, they will present the outcomes of their work in collaboration with our co-production and presentation partners: Bijlmerbios, CBK Zuidoost, Goethe-Institut, Framer Framed, IHLIA & OBA Oosterdok, SHEBANG, and Splendor.

 

We will kick-off the Finale with a conversation between Devika Chotoe, Tina M. Campt and Rolando Vázquez Melken on 20 September at Shebang, followed by a performance programme by Constantina Zavitsanos in collaboration with Angelo Custódio and Pedro Matias, S*an D. Henry-Smith, and Geo Wyex on 30 September. The performance(s) can be attended on-site at Splendor and online via zoom. More details on these two events very soon.

 

Check out the Finale booklet for the full Bodies and Technologies programme, including performances, exhibitions, film screenings, book launches, conversations, roundtables, workshops, radio shows and more. We will keep you posted through our letters and socials.

 

On the occasion of the Finale, we are releasing a special Edition Bag (available from 20 September). With purchasing this bag you’ll support If I Can’t Dance and receive a series of seven posters featuring a variety of visual elements from the projects of our Edition IX contributors, including drawings, photographs, film stills and more. The Bag also contains the Finale booklet-in-print and a 15% voucher on all of our publications.

 

We hope to see you soon!

 

Frédérique Bergholtz,
with all of the If I Can’t Dance team
