Dear Beatrice Gibson,

Dear Jeroen Peeters,

Dear Saint Abdullah,

Dear Maeve Brennan,

Dear A. Livingstone,

Dear Sophie Darlington,

Dear Nissa Nishikawa,

We’re getting in touch about a research project we’re working on at Goldsmiths, exploring ‘moving image as choreographic’. As part of this, we’d love to invite you to contribute to a series of encounters between choreographic and cinematographic practices.

We really hope you can join us.

Bests,

Edgar Schmitz & Tuur Van Balen
