[DUC] Dance Under Construction 2012 Registration!

[Dance Under Construction .]

Hello,

You are invited to attend Dance Under Construction XIII, "Re-Imagining Archives in Motion" at UC Riverside on Friday and Saturday April 13th and 14th. Dr. Susan Manning, Professor of English, Theater, and Performance Studies, will give a keynote address titled "Archives in Collision," which will focus on how discrepancies, gaps, and conflicts between different archives often provide historical illumination. We are very excited about all of the presenters at the conference this year and expect it to be a stimulating weekend!

Dance Under Construction (DUC) is an interdisciplinary forum for presenting graduate student work theorizing dance, performance, and the body. It originated as an initiative of the graduate students of UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures and has been hosted by various UC campuses. DUC has grown to an annual student-run event for dance and performance scholars, as well as those in related disciplines. Designed for the development of intellectual inquiry in a supportive and rigorous environment, the conference offers students a chance to explore through experimental modes of research and performance. This interdisciplinary event provides a rare and important discursive space for the stimulation and presentation of cutting-edge research in topics related to the body as a site of cultural identification. Previous conferences have addressed artistic and intellectual exploration of themes such as the Politics of Choreography, Black Aesthetics,
 Technology and Dance, Globalization, Economies in Motion, Transnational Bodies, Gender and Sexuality, Dance and Popular culture and Postcolonialism and Performance.
