2) Call For Contributions
Dancehouse Diary - Body Social, Body Political, Bodies Of Now
Dancehouse (Melbourne, Australia) publishes a free publication called Dancehouse Diary every three months. The Dancehouse Diary is the only dance publication in Australia based on discourse, dialogue and connection with other art forms and wider society issues. The Dancehouse Diary hopes to provoke thinking about dance, art and its place in society. Writings are specifically linked to an editorial theme that Dancehouse uses as a provocation for contributions. Dancehouse Diary is now open to contributions as a response to our editorial focus. The editorial theme for this issue is "Body Social, Body Political, Bodies of Now".
What to submit:
We are looking for articles which are innovative, challenging and experimental responses to the editorial theme.
Beginning with Mauss' and Foucault's premise that the body is permeated by social and cultural forces, the theme of this Diary seeks to explore the many ways in which the social body and the dancing body interact between socio-political bodies and human bodies. With this issue, we would like to explore the ways in which prevailing geo-political and economic contexts affect our physical selves (bodily senses, energies, desires and behaviours) and to extent to which the dancing body mirrors the current societal challenges of our world.
