CALL FOR PAPERS

The field of dance ethnography can now be found across a range of disciplines such as dance studies, theatre, anthropology, performance studies, ethnology and folklore studies.
This biennial one day seminar, hosted by De Montfort University since 2003, will take place again on Saturday 30 January 2010.
The seminar aims to bring together both new and established fieldworkers in dance and movement to hear presentations on work in progress and to facilitate interaction and discussion on current research in dance and movement ethnography. You may submit proposals for either a paper of traditional conference length (20 minutes) or a more introductory presentation (10 minutes). The latter is aimed to encourage new students to present their research developments and to allow reports from more established workers in the field on work in progress. Proposals for panels are also welcome.

Proposals for Papers and Panels should include the following:
Name of Presenter (s)
Institutional Affiliation (if relevant)
Title
Abstract (half page) plus selected Bibliography
Time required (10 minutes or 20 minutes presentation).
