CQ Resources for Remote Dancing

    search


Welcome to our Resources for Remote Dancing page during this challenging time of COVID-19 shelter-at-home. We know you are all improvising new ways of dancing, creating, teaching, and studying, whether out in the field or in the context of academia, and it's a heady time of invention. Here, we offer you some ideas for using the rich resources of Contact Quarterly.

There could be no better time to dip into our Contact Editions catalogue of unique books and DVDs on contemporary dance, improvisation, performance, and somatic movement arts.

  • Use the search engine here on our site to locate articles and books by author or keywords both in print and on our online-features. For your own and your students' research and inspiration, some keywords that come to mind: teaching, scores, composition, improvisation.

Day 4 Group Score [anonymous], from "OUT-SCORE / IN-SCORE WORKSHOP: teaching artistic agency in contemporary choreographic practices," by Jeanine Durning and Liz Waterhouse. See CQ Vol. 39.1 W/S 2014.

  • Reach into CQ's trove of Back Issues for writings by dance artists on processes of performance, improvisation, dance-making, somatic research, training the body, and more.
  • Access them digitally through your school library system.
  • Peruse your own collection of print issues, or request them from your library.
