The project "dialogues without dance" was initiated in 2015 by Alexander Andriyashkin and Ekaterina Ganyushina with the aim of accumulating available Russian-language texts in the field of contemporary dance and performance.

There are 20 dialogues in total, each dialogue is a recorded conversation between a "theorist" and a "practitioner" on a certain topic, half of them initiated by one and half by the other.

The texts of the project were published in 2015−2016 on the website roomfor.ru and included the themes:

/ performance and contemporary dance
/ criteria of contemporary art and contemporary dance
/ contemporary dance technique(s)
/ composed vs improvisational performance
/ gender
/ current themes of contemporary dance
/ use of technology
/ (co-)authorship
/ art or art therapy
/ why contemporary art will turn into contemporary dance
/ criticism as a guide
/ death of contemporary dance
/ category of the new
/ whether a text is necessary
