Greetings!

Please join us this week for the *Critical Dance Experiments
*conference on *Thursday,
March 5* & *Friday, March 6*!

Critical Dance Experiments is a conference organized by MFA and PhD
students in UC Riverside’s Department of Dance in collaboration with the
2026 Current Topics in Dance Research Colloquium Series - it aims to
rethink dance scholarship in its multiple forms, at the nexus of theory and
praxis, and in response to the urgencies of our shared times and places.


*We are excited to introduce two of the scholars that will be joining us!*

*Dr. Mlondi Zondi *(USC Dornsife) will join us as the conference’s keynote
speaker, bringing his work into conversation with our graduate student
community with the lecture “The Loss of Loss: Dance and the Psychopolitics
of Re-Assembly”. Our keynote is part of a collaboration with the 2026
Current Topics in Dance Research Colloquium Series.

*Professor Moncell Durden *(USC Kaufman) will join us as the conference’s
invited artist and scholar offering two intensive workshops entitled “In
the Groove” & “Aesthetic Flow” connecting conceptual and movement
aesthetics from Jazz to House and Hip Hop.

We look forward to moving together!
