[Commlist] Moving Online Symposium

*/Moving Online Symposium/*

30^th January 2025

Coventry University, UK

*Registration now open!*

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 copyright^1 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’^6 and 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

The Moving Online symposium explores 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/>//(funded by the 
Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number AH/W01002X/1]).

The event is free to attend. We are offering limited number of £150 
bursaries to support travel and participation by freelance artists. More 
information is available here
