When and Where
Description
On November 19, the CDTPS will host our second colloquium of this academic year! We invite the CDTPS community and interested friends to join members of the Institute for Dance Studies in this colloquium. Founded in 2016, the Institute for Dance Studies (IDS) is a research community hosted within the Centre. Through meetings, events, practice-based-research and resource sharing, IDS is a platform of support for scholars and students whose research is dance and movement focused. IDS advocates for the value of dance research beyond the scope of performance intended for the stage, acknowledging its potential for insight into society, culture, politics, health and personal wellness. It is an interdisciplinary community with members from numerous departments and units.
