ABSTRACT
Our in-person interview with Gurur took place at The Graduate Center, CUNY in Peter’s office. We took advantage of the fact that Gurur was in town. For almost a decade, Gurur co-curated the iDANS International Festival of Contemporary Dance and Performance in Istanbul, bringing highly acclaimed experimental choreographers to audiences in Turkey. Given the country’s political climate, as this interview documents, Gurur has since moved on to other pursuits. Along with Sandra Noeth, she co-edited the book Bodies of Evidence: Ethics, Aesthetics, and Politics (Passagen Publishers, 2018).
