IF I CAN'T DANCE I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR REVOLUTION  regrets to inform you that the activities planned for Sunday 30 June have been postponed due to illness, the Reading Group facilitator for this session Alex Martinis Roe will sadly be unable to travel to Amsterdam on this date.

IICD plans to reschedule the session to later in the summer, and hope you will all be able to attend.

**************************************************************************************************** 

On Sunday Jun 30 at 12pm – 8pm If I Can't Dance will convene a Summer Open Reading Group exploring voicing, feminism and gendered vocality, in the frame of our ongoing research into appropriation and dedication. The afternoon session will be led by artist Alex Martinis Roe, and will be accompanied by contributions from students of the Dutch Art Institute.

On this occasion If I Can't Dance's Reading Group will open to interested participants who can sign up to join us for a day of reading, workshop exercises and discussions in a meadow outside of Amsterdam. We will depart from our office on Westerdok at 12pm and cycle for about an hour to the location.

Alex Martinis Roe will lead a workshop exploring the theories of Italian feminist Adriana Cavarero and drawing upon the praxis of the Milan Women's Bookstore collective.

These speculative strategies will also consider gestures of 'appropriation'—and through either discarding this term, or extending its scope will think through what it might mean to intentionally resonate with another's voice as a feminist political practice. Extending this to an inquiry into the politics of speaking for another, with reference to the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective's practice of affidamento, the afternoon will explore practices which foreground the inter-subjective constitution of each unique voice.

The programme will also feature a presentation by students of the Dutch Art Insitute/MFA ArtEZ as part of the course Occupation Evacuation Transmission, led by Emma Hedditch and with Anneke Ingwersen, Sarah Jones, Louis Liu, Momu & No Es, Abner Preis, Kim Schonewille, Tommie Soro, Silvia Ulloa, Sofia Ocaña Urwitz, and Mariana Zamarbide.
