Swimming in Gravity: Lecture by Steve Paxton

Steve Paxton’s conference at BOZAR celebrates the recent publication with Contredanse Editions of his first book Gravity. In it, he looks back on a life inhabited by this natural physical force, and the memories of his first steps run alongside metaphysical meditations and views on the present-day world. With lucidity and humour, Steve Paxton investigates what is at the bounds of our conscience, and invites our senses to enter into the dance.
