Welcome!
Since the early nineties, Meg Stuart, born 1965 in New Orleans, USA, and her Brussels-based dance company Damaged Goods, have produced a remarkable and audacious body of choreographic work. Ten years ago, Damaged Goods published Are we here yet? (ed. Jeroen Peeters), which spans the first twenty years of Meg Stuart’s career.
In Let’s Not Get Used to This Place, the choreographer dives into more than a decade of works through reflections, interviews, scores and exercises, and notes on the practice of creating, performing, teaching and living dance. These are mixed with reports, essays and poetry by close collaborators and intimate strangers, photos, performance texts and archive material. The book’s title, gleaned from one of Stuart’s recent video works, ties together these multifaceted sources in a desire to discard tried and tested strategies, explore new contexts, and transgress the edge of what we (do not) know.
This launch and publication also coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of Damaged Goods: a perfect way to celebrate this remarkable legacy.
