This talk by choreographer, arts educator and researcher Muhammad Noramin (Soultari Amin Farid) aims to initiate discussions about how dances have evolved historically, as well as the importance of its contemporaneous practice and relevance.
The discourses that will be brought to the fore explore the dance forms within the Nusantara today, and acknowledge their syncretic nature as a result of maritime cultural exchanges and colonialism; and talk about its future and challenges.
