Grounding Moves: Landscapes for Dance
June 15-18 2006
The Banff Centre for the Arts, Alberta Canada
The Society of Dance History Scholars invites submissions for its
twenty-ninth annual conference, hosted by the Banff Centre for the Arts
in Alberta, Canada, a unique centre known for its dedication to the arts
and to creative process, and for its breathtaking location in the heart
of the Rocky Mountains.
In recognition of this stunning site and the vibrant role the Banff
Centre has played in Canada for decades, the 2006 conference will engage
with dance projects fostered in this location. These include the unique
and internationally-renowned "Aboriginal Dance Project," inaugurated in
1996; the many cutting edge media and visual arts programs of the Banff
New Media Institute, which include numerous projects that integrate
dance and technology; and the Centre's renowned ballet program, which
has trained dancers in Canada since the 1940s. The program committee
hopes to stimulate proposals that will look at Aboriginal dance, dance
and new media, ballet training, and issues of state and institutional
support that may be raised by the success of the Banff Centre itself.
Although the conference proposes and promotes this focus on the Banff
Centre, we welcome proposals outside that realm. The conference is open
to any new research in dance studies, and we imagine that the issues
raised will be applicable to dance practices, institutional structures
and histories in locations the world
over.
Questions include:
*What is dance's relation to institutional structures?
*How do issues of self-determination, ownership, state control,
intellectual and artistic property, sovereignty, and of European-imposed
definitions about these, intersect with the histories of institutional
support?
*How have -- and haven't -- Aboriginal dance practices flourished in
relation to these structures and in the face of institutional constraints?
*What is ballet's relationship to institutional structures, such as
those provided by governments or schools (universities, conservatories,
arts centers, neighborhood studios); by cities (New York, Winnipeg,
Seoul, Beijing...); and by ideologies of, for example, gender,
nationalism and globalization?
*What possibilities do the realms of new media hold in addressing these
histories and issues? In contributing to the extension and evolution of
dance practice and performance?
*How does dance ground practitioners across geographic, institutional,
and ideological divides? Submissions encouraged for individual papers
and panels, as well as for roundtable discussions, movement workshops,
lecture-demonstrations, collaborative presentations, and other formats
that will enable the active engagement of conference participants. More
