The 2nd of November, Dansens Hus and Oslo World hosted a panel discussion about why and how artists and makers borrow, appropriate and celebrate Hiphop - in terms of methods, expressions, aesthetics, formats and ideas?
Methodology and stylistic characteristics coming from Hiphop bleed into contemporary arts, contemporary dance and popular culture. Does this create a dilution of what Hiphop is, or is it enriching? Is Hiphop dancers' knowledge used as an effect in performances and choreography? Or does it help to emphasise what co-creative dance artists are and can be?
