In their recently published anthology, Dance History(s): Imagination as a Form of Study, choreographers Thomas F. DeFrantz and Annie-B Parson gather a dozen diverse perspectives on the history of dance, each contributed by a working choreographer and all addressing the same question: What is dance history? By handing the authorial microphone to dance artists to serve as our dance historians, the book assembles their embodied lineages, and creates a new prismatic shape for dance history(s). The evening of book readings, with 60-second interstitial dances done by the authors, features a choreographic score by Annie-B Parson in collaboration with fellow choreographer/authors DeFrantz, mayfield brooks, maura nguyễn donohue, Keith Hennessy, Bebe Miller, Okwui Okpokwasili, Eiko Otake, Javier Steel-Frésquez, Ogemdi Ude, Mariana Valencia, and Andros Zins-Browne.

This year the Under the Radar Symposium: A Creative Summit will be completely free for all and online. Convening on January 7th at 10am E.S.T. for a half day of conversations and panels on the future of the field, the symposium will initiate the conversation between audiences and performances that continues through the festival.

A session entitled “Artists and International Presenting” will end the symposium.

Panels, manifestos, and break-out sessions throughout the symposium will explore the challenges facing artists and presenters with an eye to the day when we can experience live performances once again. What will be different? What are the lessons we learned during this time of isolation? What will we keep? What will we change?
