Dancing Bodies in Coventry is a Coventry City of Culture 2021 funded project that is being led by researchers from Coventry University’s Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE).
Invisible Difference brings together researchers from two different disciplines, dance and law and draws on concepts and methods from the arts and social sciences.
The three-year REACH project will establish a Social Platform as a sustainable space for meeting, discussion and collaboration by a wide-ranging network of all those with a stake in research and practice in the field of culture and cultural heritage.
The main focus of this project is the creation of online digital scores, to be made publicly available via the Motion Bank website.
The Civic Epistemologies project is about the participation of citizens in research on cultural heritage and humanities.
A study into creativity in contemporary dance.
Funded through the Culture 2007 programme, this project is a European platform for interdisciplinary research on artistic methodologies.
The overall objective is to set up a Research Network that will hold two workshop/laboratories and a symposium to identify important research questions concerning how dance research and human-computer interaction (HCI) can inform each other.
What does social choreography mean today, and to what extent can this field provide new frameworks to help address the issue of cultural stereotyping of refugees? Violent military conflict, environmental crises, breakdown of social, racial or ethnic integration, are some of the many reasons why millions of peoples are being displaced across the world. Immigration is regarded today as arguably one of the most pressing political issues by voters and the wider public, and not only in a post-Brexit UK. Whilst the problem of forced migration is typically addressed from within the social sciences (e.g. migration and diaspora studies, sociology, political science, or development studies), little is known about the way in which the movement arts and bodily perspectives are responding to such crises. The gap in knowledge that the network is aiming to address concerns a lack of understanding of embodied socio-choreographic practice at a regional and cross-national level.
This network brings together experts from dance and somatic practices, health and digital design to explore the living, sensate and subjectively experienced body in context as a means of understanding chronic pain and self-care strategies.
The project aims at leveraging photographic content in Europeana depicting the 1950s in Europe, connecting today’s citizens with the post-war generation whose dreams of a better life led to the establishment of the European Union. Kaleidoscope wants to increase engagement with Europeana content, by heightening user interaction through crowdsourcing and co-curation.
Professor Sarah Whatley's project aims to create an accessible digital archive of Siobhan Davies Dance which is freely available.
COVID-19 continues to have an impact on all areas of society, and the cultural sector is still in the process of learning about what this means long term. Contemporary dance in particular has had to discover new ways to be resilient and creative not only in terms of social distancing with its impact on how dancers can train and rehearse, but also adapting priorities for audience engagement and participation.
This AHRC-funded Network project is led by Prof Roger Kneebone (PI), Imperial College, London and Sarah Whatley (Co-I) and brings together a network of practitioners, academics, and educators from music, dance, fine arts, medicine, and science to investigate the role of cross-disciplinary approaches to performance.
Funded through the Strategic Priorities Fund, the project explores new forms of data gathering for policy making, and specifically the role of Headphone Verbatim Theatre in assessing the impact of Coventry City of Culture 2021 on citizens and their views of Coventry.
This three day event is grounded in feminist and critical theorist Bell Hook’s idea of “Talking Back” and will open up a space to learn more about the five pillars of Hip Hop (Knowledge, Graffiti, break dance, Djing and Emceeing).
This fellowship investigates how Amerta Movement practice supports dialogue between diverse ethnic and religious communities in Indonesia. This is especially important in a country where ‘unity in diversity’ is the national motto.
