Dance Program

The Dance Program (chaired by Purnima Shah) participated in the Humanities Futures Inter-departmental Seminar Politics of Performance with Cultural Anthropology and Literature in Spring 2015. For the Seminar, the Program invited dance artist-scholar Brenda Dixon Gottschild and ritual studies scholar Ronald Grimes as the Program’s guest speakers. For the remainder of the grant, the Program pursued two faculty-led projects: (1) the Shayla-Vie Jenkins dance residency and a restaging of Bill T. Jones’ Power/Full, with an associated pedagogical project by Andrea Woods Valdés on documentary/archival methods (see videos); (2) dance technology and the circulation of the social, a set of critical and performative interventions at Durham’s Moogfest, organized by Thomas F. DeFrantz.
