CALL FOR PAPERS: Choreographic Practices (Intellect Press), Special Issue, Spring 2017: WORDS and DANCE // Deadline 1st June 2016

[ENCATC Performing Arts Management]

This special journal issue of Choreographic Practices - WORDS and DANCE - aims to draw together, contribute to and exemplify debates around the use of spoken word in current and future 21st Century dance practices as well as its place in the contemporary cultural landscape.

New critical insights into interdisciplinary, immersive, participatory and collaborative dance practices, and an articulation of how these may elucidate the way in which spoken words are used by dancers in choreographic practice are welcome.

The above might include considerations of:

·         Ways in which dance practices might both respond to and shape the use of spoken word in 21st century performance practice.

·         Contemporary relationships to representations of the political body and identity through dance practices that incorporate spoken words.

·         Experimental approaches to dance making that make explicit the use of spoken words with a particular focus on instant composition as a methodology.

·         Somatically informed approaches to vocal practice.

·         Contemporary propositions for the interpretation, experience, critique and creation of dance that uses spoken word either for or as poetry.
