As screendance increases in popularity and new international festivals regularly emerge, what is curiously absent in most festivals is an identifiable curatorial point of view. Curation is not only missing from the festival circuit but also in most situations where one encounters screendance itself. Also absent are the attendant offspring that curation generates, such as catalogues, essays, critique and other intellectual ephemera that create the foundation for criticality in an art practice. This essay looks at the difference between ‘programming’ and ‘curating’ in the larger context of the art world and the consequences of each. The essay argues that curation creates intertextual relationships between works of screendance past and present and in this regard has the potential to identify and excavate genres within screendance, thus raising the level of discourse in the field as a whole
