Please visit our Eventbrite page to book tickets: http://newvisionsondance.eventbrite.co.uk/ Organised by the Society for Dance Research in collaboration with Dance at Middlesex and Dance HE, this one-day symposium seeks to testify to and anticipate the exciting new directions of dance scholarship and performance practice reflected in current research by doctoral candidates and early-career academics. We expect the discussions to explore how dance can create fluid and confronting intersections and interactions that (re)define and transform theoretical, methodological and performance frameworks. We expressly aim to foster and promote high-quality interdisciplinary research on dance both as a subject of theoretical enquiry and a practised art form. We aim to promote an informal atmosphere which fosters an inter-collegial exchange of perspectives. The symposium will feature a keynote speech by Professor Christopher Bannerman, director of ResCen, an introduction to academic publishing by Professor Vida Midgelow, co-editor of Choreographic Practices, and a talk on 'Entering the Academy' by Dr. Fiona Bannon, Chair of Dance HE. A performance workshop led by performance and installation artist Richard Layzell, free to delegates, will round off the day. This will explore the dualities of the inner and the outer voice, innocence and improvisation, the present and the past, space and presence, humour and stillness. (Please note that there is only a limited number of places still available).
