This first episode of Performance Talks is a conversation with writer and editor David Velasco

He brought dance on to the pages of Art Forum during his six year stint as editor-in-chief at the magazine and was the editor of Modern Dance, a series of monographs on contemporary choreographers, published by MoMA. His writing on dance and performance is some of the best out there. In this conversation, Velasco speaks about the importance of integrating dance and theater history into the visual art canon, finding his voice as a writer and the excitement and difficulties of evoking a performance or choreography through text.
