The Dancer-Citizen: Exploring the Work of Socially Engaged Dance Artists
Welcome to The Dancer-Citizen, an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal that is dedicated to exploring the work of socially engaged dance artists. Our mission is to provide a platform for dancers and choreographers who are committed to using their art form as a means of addressing social issues and effecting positive change in their communities.
At The Dancer-Citizen, we believe that dance has the power to transcend cultural boundaries and bring people together in meaningful ways. We are passionate about promoting the work of socially engaged dance artists who are using their talents to create works that challenge our assumptions about society and inspire us all to be better citizens.
Our journal features articles written by leading scholars in the field of dance studies, as well as interviews with prominent dancers and choreographers. We also publish reviews of performances and events related to socially engaged dance.
One of our primary goals at The Dancer-Citizen is to foster dialogue between artists, scholars, activists, and community members. We believe that by bringing these diverse groups together around issues related to social justice and civic engagement, we can create a more just and equitable society.
In addition to our online journal, we also host events such as workshops, conferences, and performances that showcase the work of socially engaged dancers from around the world. These events provide opportunities for artists and audiences alike to engage with one another on important social issues through the medium of dance.
At The Dancer-Citizen, we are committed not only to promoting socially engaged dance but also supporting those who practice it. We offer resources such as funding opportunities for artists working on projects related to social justice issues.
We invite you join us in this exciting journey into exploring how art can be used as a tool for creating positive change in society. Whether you're an artist looking for inspiration or a scholar interested in learning more about this emerging field, we hope you'll find something of value in our journal and events.
Thank you for visiting The Dancer-Citizen. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to create a more just and equitable world through the power of dance.
