Surrounded by dance works that invite audiences to reconsider the nature of dance performance, this symposium similarly considers the ecologies and impact of dance research. Interrogating established approaches in research and knowledge transfer and offering a space  for artists, academics, producers, curators and the public to come together to rethink models of, and contexts for, research.

Through provocations, exemplification and dialogue we ask: What difference does / can dance research make? Where is dance research taking place? How is the ‘impact agenda’ extending and changing research methodologies? How does dance research operate, and make a difference, within a variety of professional contexts? How is dance research communicated to the general public?

The symposium will investigate and test conventional paradigms, practice and knowledge’s in dance, emphasing the benefits of collaboration and exchange, the blurring of established territories and the challenges of public engagement.
