New Visions on dance
Samedi 12 octobre
Lieu : Grove Theatre, Middlesex University, Hendon Campus, The Burroughs, London NW4 4BTThis symposium seeks to testify to and anticipate the exciting new directions of dance scholarship and performance practice reflected in current research by doctoral candidates and early-career academics. We expect the discussions to explore how dance can create fluid and confronting intersections and interactions that (re)define and transform theoretical, methodological and performance frameworks. We expressly aim to foster and promote high-quality interdisciplinary research on dance both as a subject of theoretical enquiry and a practised art form. We aim to promote an informal atmosphere which fosters an inter-collegial exchange of perspectives.
The symposium will feature a keynote speech by Professor Christopher Bannerman, director of ResCen, a talk on publishing in journals by Professor Vida Midgelow, editor of Choreographic Practices, and a paper on ‘Entering the Academy’ byDr. Fiona Bannon, incoming Chair of DanceHE. A performance workshop led by performance and installation artist Richard Layzell, free to delegates, will round off the day. This will explore the dualities of the inner and the outer voice, innocence and improvisation, the present and the past, space and presence, humour and stillness.

British Dance and the African Diasporas - Roadshow Three
DanceXchange, Thorp Street, Birmingham, B5 4TB
Lieu : Birmingham (RU)
Free (but booking is essential)
Who: this event is aimed at dancers, dance students and researchers and anyone with an interest in the work of Black British dancers. Dancers are invited to take part in the class, non dancers are welcome to observe. You can attend all or parts of the programme.
This is the third Roadshow of the British Dance and the African Diasporas Research Project led by Christy Adair (York St John University) and Ramsay Burt (De Montfort University). The project aims to find new ways of generating and recording memories from those involved in professional dance activity. It seeks to celebrate the achievements of black dancers whose histories are often overlooked, to re-contextualise the work of Black British dancers and to add to the transatlantic knowledge of African cultural diasporas.
Roadshow Three will explore memories of those Black British dancers who were involved with dance since the 1970s with particular focus on Kokuma Dance Theatre Company and ACE dance and music "ACE dance and music look forward to participating in this dialogue celebrating the achievements of Black British dancers and choreographers. Birmingham was a key centre in the 1970s and 1980s in Britain for the development of African and Caribbean People's Dance and continues to be so, and thus we are excited that this event will now be taking place in ACE's home city." (Gail Parmel, Artistic Director of ACE dance and music)
14.15 – 15.45 Introduction: participate or observe Gail Parmel teaching open class with Music Director, Ian Parmel. Gail is Artistic Director of ACE dance and music which she founded with Ian Parmel in 1996 after working with Kokuma Dance Theatre Company. In 2011 she was nominated one of the Cultural Leadership Programme’s 50 Women to Watch and has now been voted as one of 20 inspirational woman from the African Diaspora in Europe.
Numbers for the open class will be limited so please register your place.
16.00 – 17:00 Networking event with ADAD led by Judith Palmer: find out more about ADAD, tea and coffee provided.
17.15 – 19:00 Evening programme:
There will be a panel discussion: ‘Overview of dance in Birmingham 1970s and 80s’. The panel will include Bob Ramdhanie, Gail Parmel, Ian Parmel, Christy Adair, Funmi Adewole, Ramsay Burt and Jean Johnson Jones.
