CADD+DSA: Black Voices in Dance Studies Collaborative Series

10/21/2020

0 Comments

 
The Collegium for African Diaspora Dance joins the Dance Studies Association to co-host a program series exploring the politics, aesthetics, and alchemy of African diasporic dance. 

CADD+DSA collaborative programming includes lectures, cross-generational discussions, and creative explorations into Black dance (studies). Events consider the ways that Black dance affirms, confers, cleaves, or potentially binds Black lives. Rooted in our diverse histories, discussions are also invested in the possibility of mobilizing experience/technique/technology into a possible 'right now' and future of/for Black people themselves. 

November 7 11 AM EST | Marcea Daiter shows excerpts from her interviews with Talley B eatty about the political imagery in his choreography;  Dr. John Perpener contextualizes the work of Beatty and other contemporary Black Dance artists as he charts throughlines of Black dance as political action across the Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights, Black Power, Women's, and, Black Lives Matter Movements. Woodshed Dance guides an embodied invocation.

Registration for November - Registration will close 11/3 at 12pm CST

Prices begin at $10 per event.  Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Dance/NYC’s 7th Annual Symposium – A success!

3/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Boasting attendance of over 500 participants, Dance/NYC 2016 Symposium was a success.  Bustling through the halls of Gibney Dance Center (280 Broadway) were curious dance folks, plus old and new friends eagerly sharing in the scheduled events, but also in the many passes through the halls.  To a completely rapt audience, keynote speakers Misty Copeland and Virginia Johnson had an informal conversation where both asked and answered questions of each other.  Partly because of the direction of the Symposium, discussions on diversity, at one point, Copeland said, “We’re here to help each other,” and Johnson, “We do something because we believe in it…there’s nothing more important than that.”  Sitting in the front row was Arthur Mitchell, to whom they included in their many points on diversity in the ballet world.  Johnson insisted that her charge is to “…pass on what Mr. Mitchell entrusted in me.”  In short, they thanked him for helping to make a change.
For this jam-packed Sunday (February 28), there was a great deal to see and of course not enough time to see it all.  Besides the very informative workshops on legal issues (“Independent Contractors” and “Planned Giving”) I also sat in briefly on Susan Chin’s panel on public spaces for dance, and Camille A. Brown’s panel on “Diversity & Inclusion in Dance Education.”  All were very lively and, as expected, could go on and on because there was more to share. 

In their follow up, the folks at dance/NYC writes:
We value your feedback. As we work to improve our leadership training and professional development efforts, please consider taking a few minutes to complete a short online survey by Wednesday, March 16th. Click here for the survey.

Select video and images will be made available at Dance.nyc and we hope you will continue the conversations online using @DanceNYC #dancesymp.

We thank all of our supporters, partners, speakers, volunteers, and friends, who made the 2016 event possible. Thank you for all you do for dance.

Onward,

The team at Dance/NYC

NYU Gallatin Interdisciplinary Arts Program commissions a new dance inspired by EYE ON DANCE 
February 11 at 6:30pm


“African American Footprints Leading to the Future” 
A screening, discussion, and performance 

In a novel twist, EYE ON DANCE (EOD), the television series that captured the stories of thousands of artists and was recently named an “Irreplaceable National Dance Treasure,” becomes the touchstone of new piece by choreographer Chafin Seymour. Program curators Celia Ipiotis and Julie Malnig designed the evening  “African American Footprints Leading to the Future” to include the EOD screening, live dance performance and panel discussion.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the EOD episode (shot in 1981) features David Roussseve and Pat Hall Smith discussing an artist’s understanding of cultural and racial identity through family narratives and how the creative process re-routes lifelong 
confrontations with racism. Moderated by EYE ON DANCE creator and producer, Celia Ipiotis, the program is peppered with performance excerpts by Rousseve and Smith. 

NYU Gallatin Interdisciplinary Arts Program commissioned Chafin Seymour to create a new work inspired by the issues raised in the EYE ON DANCE episode. Founder of seymour//dancecollective, modern dancer Seymour mines material from music, 
literature, and pop culture.  

Panel: The evening will conclude with a panel discussion moderated by Celia Ipiotis featuring Chafin Seymour, David Roussève, and NYU professors Julie Malnig and Michael Dinwiddie. 
Date: February 11 at 6:30pm
Location: The Jerry H. Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts theater, 1 Washington Place, NY 10003
