Introduction
Approaches to Dance (4)
This reflective essay traces a pathway through dance, beginning with the early influences in dance training and scholarship, through to building a University dance programme and research centre. With reference to the many scholars and artists who have been so important to this journey, the essay seeks to offer a glimpse into how a career in dance research often twists and turns through teaching, practice, writing and collaboration
Mapping a City’s Energy
This essay looks at how embodied knowledge of the city can be shaped by the intentional movement of dance and sensory mapping experiments, through a close examination of two different movement practices undertaken as part of the Dancing Bodies in Coventry(DBiC) project. The essay also explores the different ways in which embodied experiences of urban space and place are documented, as well as what the hybridisation of the digital and the bodily m…
Towards Hybridity
This article considers the many layered and multi-faceted questions of hybridity as interdisciplinary encounter through the lens of a central case study – the EU-funded project, CultureMoves (2018-2020), on which the Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE) was a collaborating partner. With Europeana principles as a backdrop for the re-use of cultural heritage content, CultureMoves was an 18-month long project that aimed to develop a series of digital …
Virtual Reality and Choreographic Practice
Virtual reality (VR) is becoming an increasingly intriguing space for dancers and choreographers. Choreographers may find new possibility emerging in using virtual reality to create movement and the WhoLoDancE: Whole-Body Interaction Learning for Dance Education project is developing tools to assist in this process. The interdisciplinary team which includes dancers, choreographers, educators, artists, coders, technologists and system architects h…

Who can Profit from Dance? An Exploration of Copyright Ownership
Focusing on UK copyright law, this article explores ownership of the dance by reference to the work of disabled dance artists. Our attention is on this group because their position within the dance workforce has always been precarious and so perhaps have most to gain through greater recognition of authorship in their work. Through an examination of the law as it applies to two different projects featuring Caroline Bowditch, we suggest that, contr…
Transmitting, Transforming, and Documenting Dance in the Digital Environment
Dance artists and researchers have worked together and with digital media to produce tools, resources, and “choreographic objects” — experiments in how to document and transmit the processual, somatic, and multisensory properties of dance. These objects impact the artists, modes of analysis, and archival strategies in dance, and make a wider contribution to performing arts practice, theory, and education
Sondra Fraleigh, Moving Consciously
Recovering and Reanimating ‘Lost’ Traces
Siobhan Davies RePlay provides open access to a significant collection of performances, photographs, and text-based materials, and includes a large number of rehearsal tapes that offer a unique insight to the dance making process. Following the development of simple capture technologies, Davies’ dancers have recorded and reviewed their own movement experiments or ‘scratches’. These previously private memory objects enter the public domain via the…
Digitizing Siobhan Davies Dance
This paper outlines progress so far on an AHRC-funded project led by researchers at Coventry University to create a digital archive of the work of British choreographer, Siobhan Davies. The paper will discuss how the processes involved in translating the ‘live’ or the analogue recording to the digitised have raised questions around the nature of representation and the curatorial process. In working collaboratively with Davies and her company, the…
Archives of the Dance (21)
In 2006, an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant was awarded to researchers at Coventry University to create a digital archive of the work of Siobhan Davies Dance. The award is significant in acknowledging the limited resources readily available to dance scholars as well as to dance audiences in general. The archive, Siobhan Davies Dance Online, 1 will be the first digital dance archive in the UK. Mid-way through the project, Sarah W…
Dance Identity, Authenticity and Issues of Interpretation with Specific Reference to the Choreography of Siobhan Davies
Choreographers regularly make revisions to their work. Revisions that are made are sometimes significant and can radically alter the dance whilst other changes may be almost invisible to the viewer. In the case of Siobhan Davies, revising dances has become a regular feature of her work. This paper represents a case study, which is designed to shed some further light on this process
