The Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault (FJPP) is pleased to invite you to a focus day on copyright and dance heritage on Friday, October 2, 2015.
The event will be held at the Pavillon de danse de l’Université du Québec à Montréal, at 840 Cherrier, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
The FJPP is dedicated to disseminating and documenting contemporary dance in Quebec in order to advance thinking around the potentialities and promotion of choreographic legacies. Since copyright is inherent to the dissemination of cultural works, the FJPP would like to share its questions and reflections regarding this issue.
COPYRIGHT: A SPACE OF FREEDOM OR CONSTRAINT FOR THE CREATION AND USE OF CHOREOGRAPHIC WORKS?
How does the dance milieu approach issues related to copyright?
How do interpretations of copyright influence the creation, co-creation, reproduction and dissemination of choreographic works?
How does the concept of appropriation apply to the art of choreography?
What about the rights of performers and their influence on the creative process?
What are the main copyright principles to be aware of when creating, using or disseminating a choreographic work?
To answer these far-reaching questions, the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault invites dance practitioners and legal experts to participate in a focus day on copyright and dance heritage.
9:30 a.m.: Overview and introduction of participants
10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: Copyright and the creation of choreographic works
