RESIDANCE24: ARTIST TALK W/ YASEN VASILEV (BG, BE)

Do you want to learn more about dramaturgy and specifically dramaturgy in performance art and dance?

Artist talk - Yasen Vasilev (BG, BE)
Moderator: Maja Hriešik

Is dramaturgy an independent art? What different forms can it take? How can it serve dance? Does the responsibility of dramaturgical work end with the creation of a specific work, or can it overlap into the overall functioning of the sector? As cultural policies are currently changing, how can a dramaturg* deal with this?
The talk will touch on the practicalities of dramaturgical practice in contemporary performance and dance, the theme of peripheries and centres, fairness and professionalism.

Yasen Vasilev works in the field of contemporary dance and performance as a dramaturg, critic and creator.
His works NUTRICULA and IMPOSSIBLE ACTIONS were created in Asia (Shanghai and Taipei) and have been presented internationally. He is a regular contributor to Springback magazine and co-authored "Letter for Transnational Equitable Practice" for Kunstenpunt.
From 2023 to 2024 he held a research position at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp and a fellowship at the Akademie Schloss Solitude.

As a dramaturg, he collaborates with Belgian artists Ehsan Hemat, Milo Slayers and Julien Carlier.
