Since 2006 If I Can’t Dance has organized reading groups on feminism (2006-2008), masquerade (2008-2010) and affect (2010 – 2012). Taking as point of departure a spirit of exchange and open-ended discussion, the Reading Group aims to facilitate a space for in-depth debate, unexpected links and creative disagreement.
The Reading Group upholds the following set of rules:
In the spirit of an open-ended discussion:
1) There is no audience. We do not need to ‘perform’ this reading group.
1) There is no audience. We do not need to ‘perform’ this reading group.
2) You do not need to speak from a fixed position. You are not here as a representative of anything or anyone else.
3) Say anything… This is all about making the u-turns needed to discover common points of reference.
