Call for contributions for Dancing Economies: Currency, Value and Labour, 20 February 2015
Current performance scholarship has set into play certain discourses about post-Fordist labour practices, neoliberal economies and their relationship to affective labour. The term precarity has become a much cited cross-disciplinary concept. While some scholars address performance and its implications for the body, the specific relationships between dance practices, economies and labour still require further in-depth consideration.

We welcome proposals for papers, panels, roundtables, and non-conventional forms of presentation (including performative papers, performances, and workshops), related to the conference theme. For more information visit Upcoming Events.

Call for papers: Dancing in the Shadow of the First World War, 29 November 2014
To mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War One, we are seeking papers that explore dancing during this period. Contributions to the symposium may consider any form of dancing (whether theatrical, social or traditional). To commemorate the far reaching effects of the war, proposals are welcomed that consider the impact on practices outside Europe. For more information, please visit Upcoming Events.
