Reykjavík Dance Festival
August 21-31
Dansverkstæðið (Skúlagata 28, 101 Reykjavík)
Free
The Reykjavík Dance Festival is celebrating its tenth anniversary and they’re
planning something really special to celebrate. This year’s festival of contemporary
dance and movement, titled “A Series of Event,” is jam-packed with cosmically-
awesome events: performances, workshops, seminars and more. The organizers
hope to see how far they can expand the idea of choreography from our normal
understanding of the word. They’re trying something radically different: they want
the participants to shape the festival, rather than the other way around. They’re
bringing together a team of dancers (“30 of the most fucking awesome, deep,
ridiculous, on-it dancers of the future” according to the festival’s website) to per-
form, but also to collaborate and create a dialogue with the community through
hands-on activities and workshops. And because they really want to make this
about the community, they’re committed to making all their events free! EJP
