EADH conference 2019: Colonial dancing in Europe, European dancing in the colonies
In association with Portingaloise Cultural and Artistic Association, and Ginasiano/Armazém22
The conference proposes an exploratory look at the migration and confluence of dance styles, forms and practices through the wide net linking European nations and their colonies worldwide.
In a dialogue between Coloniser and Colonies, what part did dancing have in the cultural exchanges between nations? What impact did they have overseas and to what extent were they absorbed?
