Call out for Expressions of Interest to take part in Talk To Me About It.
Talk To Me About It is an initiative of dance+words, a collective led by Canadian writer/filmmakers Philip Szporer (Montreal) and Kathleen Smith (Toronto). Developed for dance, theatre, and screendance festivals, the project invites participants into guided small-group discussions that encourage reflection and dialogue. The sessions, shaped by their critical framework, focus on audience enrichment rather than artist feedback. They provide fresh entry points into understanding works, particularly in screendance and new technologies.
With many years of experience in screendance production, curation, education, and writing, Philip and Kathleen are dedicated to cultivating discourse in dance, performance, and movement arts – an essential part of sustaining a healthy creative environment.
