Dance and the Law
When: Friday November 18 2011; 10.30-4.00
Where: Institute for Creative Enterprise (ICE), Coventry University, Coventry, CV1 2NE, UK
A day for researchers and practitioners to find out about the interface between dance and the law – in particular copyright law.
What does copyright mean for those who make, perform and distribute dance? What can we learn from those projects which have explored the challenges of establishing intellectual property rights when the ‘work’ is ‘co-created’? And how is the copyright framework, as it is mapped on to performance, challenged by dancers with disabilities?
