In recent years, there has been increased attention paid to the 
ownership of dance. There has been important work done in the area of 
dance and copyright1 as well as the examination of the way ownership is 
managed via social norms through the ‘commons’2 and as a form of 
‘gift’.3 The increased circulation of dance online through archives, 
video platforms and social media sites has led to multiple debates about 
the copying and re-embodiment of dances,4 reigniting important 
conversations about appropriation, acknowledgment and credit.5

At the same time, there has been a flourishing of work on dance and 
performance ontology. For example, long-standing debates about the 
ephemerality of dance and performance have been reframed through 
discussions about the ‘post-ephemeral’6and materiality.7 There have also 
been new perspectives offered on questions about the nature of dances 
and the way in which they exist.8,9

In this symposium, we are interested in exploring how these two areas 
intersect in the context of online dance and performance. The event 
builds on and shares the findings from /Moving Online: Ontology and 
Ownership of Internet Dance https://movingonline.coventry.domains 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/movingonline.coventry.domains__;!!K7l7YuZ3_aFnun0eduI!hy9JQWPFuVAdNPcyWE7R-fK_XthQ-ac0M18z67Ixw_R7IE7Q4IBN4J241PP4LCNvis3Jt4QP7w9SYkZCfnTXkkx8GHMNCYtH$>
