Positioning Choreography as Visual Art:Perceptions, Challenges, Navigations

Join UKNA and Zara Sands for an interactive session exploring the positioning of choreography as visual art. Zara Sands will be sharing her experiences of embracing choreographic work as an ‘exhibition’ or ‘live statue’ and the practicalities and challenges of this. A session for anyone wishing to experiment with presentation and subverting structural expectations.

This session is taking place as part of the UKNA ‘Navigating the Present, Shaping the Future’, during the ‘Weekend Celebration of Creativity’ which happens across Derby City from 17 – 20 October 2024.

About Zara Sands

Zara Sands is an interdisciplinary artist working across choreography, moving image, sound, installation and text, often referencing speculative fiction, sci-fi and thoughts stemming from queer ecology. In 2019 she graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire with BA (Hons) in Contemporary Dance and has since been working as a performer and artist. Her work is often concerned with teasing apart how the body is observed and perceived, and how the body is lived in and experienced. She has created work shown by platforms such as Channel 4’s Random Acts, BFI Southbank, Royal Academy Lates, videoclub, Birmingham International Dance Festival, AIR Gallery, and Nunnery Gallery.
