Call for Papers
Deadline: If you would like to be considered for the
autumn/winter 2013 issue then the deadline for submissions is 31st May 2013,
although we do accept submissions at any time.
Aims and Scope
Choreographic Practices provides a space for disseminating choreographic practices,
critical inquiry and debate. Serving the needs of students, teachers, academics
and practitioners in dance (and the related fields of theatre, live art,
video/media, and performance), the journal operates from the principle that
dance embodies ideas and can be productively enlivened when considered as a
mode of critical and creative discourse. Placing an emphasis on processes and
practices over products, this journal seeks to engender dynamic relationships
between theory and practice, choreographer and scholar, such that these
distinctions may be shifted and traversed.
Contributions
are invited that articulate and explore choreographic practices from a diverse
range of perspectives. We are especially interested in receiving
critical/creative practice-led research that is interdisciplinary and
experimental in nature.
Choreographic Practices incorporates critical essays, creative documentation, blogs
in print, visual essays, dialogues, interviews and debate. We encourage
submissions in both conventional and alternative modes of writing, including
performative and visual essays.
