Dance, Movement & Spiritualities is interested in publishing works concerned with the relationship between spirituality, dance and movement, and contributions are invited from across disciplines. Research into spirituality receives comparatively little attention in Western dance practices. In contrast, this journal provides a platform for those practitioners and researchers who are actively and creatively working with spirituality at the centre of their practice/research. The journal offers a diverse platform for scholars working within and across the fields of Dance Studies, Theology/Religious Studies, Somatics movement/dance education and therapy, Anthropology, Ethnography, Sociology, Health Studies, Dance Movement Psychotherapy and Dance Histories.
The journal is particularly interested in scholarship that explores spirituality and movement from different inter-disciplinary perspectives offering a broad stage for academic discussion and innovation. Recognizing the plurality and diversity of spiritual experience, the journal invites contributions from a vast panorama of the world’s sacred dance traditions to topics such as secular, New Age and postmodern spiritualities.
Example topics may include (but are not limited to the following areas):
• The meeting points between health, movement and spirituality
• Embodied spirituality and Somatics movement modalities
• The cultural and historical production of spirituality in relation to the growth of dance and movement practices
• Spirituality, gender and dance/movement
• The intersections between religion, spirituality and dance
• Secularization and dance/re-emergence of the sacred
• Connections between philosophy, spirituality and dance/movement
• The emergence and appreciation of new forms of spiritual dance in Western contexts otherwise undocumented (both popular and academic)
• The documentation of spiritual forms associated with institutionalized religion Dance/movement forms aligned with non-institutionalized spirituality (evolving forms linked to New Age Spirituality and the holistic spirituality paradigm)
• Secular spiritualities underpinning practice, performance and pedagogy
• Postmodern spiritualities underpinning practice, performance and pedagogy
• Movement/dance forms conversant with Feminist Spirituality
• Jungian/post-Jungian dance/movement forms
• The influence of non-Western/Eastern sacred narratives as they continue to inform Western dance practice
• Intercultural, cross-cultural and multicultural perspectives
• Creative transformation and life-force celebration
• Shamanic dance traditions
• Mysticism, movement and dance
• Dance and new technologies
• The growth of spirituality in Higher Education
