Dance and Museum in a Pandemic Time. Strategies and Perspectives Starting from the Case of the European Dancing Museums Project

Abstract

This article focuses on the European project Dancing Museums. The Democracy of Beings (2018-2021). Its purpose is to observe the impact that the coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) has had on the program of its activities. Starting from what happened and its consequences, the discussion also concerns, on a broader scale, the evolution of the relationship between dance and contemporary museology. In particular, the text deals with the theoretical and practical developments relating to the question of the absence of the object in choreographic practices and the impact that the new configurations can have on the communities associated with dance and museums.
