Centre for Dance Research

Description

The Centre for Dance Research is located within the Institute for Creative Cultures. The Centre specialises in an inclusive interdisciplinary approach to diverse forms of artistic and scholarly research in dance supported by new approaches to documentation, analysis and dissemination of choreographic creativity.

The Centre for Dance Research embraces leading edge research developments including reflexive enquiry into embodied practices, collective and political action, digitisation, cultural value and the expanded choreographic field. In addition, the Centre for Dance Research also seeks to investigate and critique the legal frameworks that can be used to support and empower the sector. The centre's research is both transdisciplinary and impactful.

The centre's core research themes are: dance documentation, dissemination and publication; cultural heritage and preservation; choreographic processes and somatic practices; dance digital and software studies; movement, computing and AI; interdisclipinarity and interculturalism; inclusivity and collectivity with a focus on disability in dance; critical discourse and performance philosophy; alternative performance sites and virtual reality; intellectual property and human rights; bodies, health and well-being; and practice research.
