Emio Greco|PC

Emio Greco | PC regularly organizes informal Salons devoted to discussing and debating dance and the wider field of the arts. Journalists, dramaturges, students, professors, arts producers, managers and artists of all disciplines are invited to participate in these moderated discussions. At the invitation of EG | PC, Essays are often written by various authors to set off these discussions (and in reaction, other articles have appeared in diverse papers and magazines).

Salon topics range from specific dance-related issues, such as notation and archiving of contemporary dance, to more general discussions of art criticism.  Some Salons are devoted to the topic of dance criticism-examining different approaches to viewing and writing about dance in a larger context.  Attempting to broaden and elevate the level of critical discourse in the arts, the Salons are structured to enable free brainstorming about the kind of writing that takes place, in what context, and with what reference points.  In addition, attempts are made to examine differences relative to approaches in other art forms, and to consider what determines, within different art fields, the criteria and standards by which we evaluate a work.
