________________________________

Vancouver, located on the unceded territories of the Musqueum, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, has long been a site of occupation, exchange, defiance and resilience. From time immemorial, it has been a location of trade and traversal across coastal Indigenous communities of the Pacific and, in more recent centuries, a place where diverse cultures from across the world have encountered each other and interacted through colonial pathways and settlement. Vancouver is a site of Indigenous and international relationships. It is a site of resistance to uneven development, neoliberal markets, colonial laws, and exclusion.

At this conference in Vancouver, the first DSA gathering in Canada, we invite presenters to explore dance and activism in localized and transcultural settings, and to share their strategies for productive change on the stage, street, screen and within the academy. In the same way that Vancouver serves as a powerful and complex example of both vexing histories and determined hope, we encourage participants to demonstrate how dance in other places intervenes in a range of issues, including race relations, gender-related rights, and land disputes. At the same time, the trend to commodify activism carries the potential for cultures of transformation to be appropriated into structures of power and domination. In this gathering we wish to share the frameworks of dancing and dance scholarship that provide space for optimism, activism, and social movement.

While priority will be given to proposals that engage with the conference theme, presentations may address (but are not limited to) the following topics:

  *   Transformational relationships between land, memory, and dance practice
  *   Strategies of decolonization and reconciliation through movement and/or collaborative activist enactments of protocol and reciprocity through dancing and dance research
  *   Dance as activist archive, and as archive of activism
  *   Activist dance pedagogy and curriculum development as well as efforts to address, oppose, and redress exclusivity within academic institutions
  *   Connections between media, dance, and social movements
  *   Theories of optimism as factors in activist agendas, and their relation to dance
  *   Critiques of resilience within structures of ongoing domination, and their relation to dance
  *   Economies of dance performance, presenting, and philanthropy, and their impacts on justice work
  *   Transcultural and transnational action and exchange, models for dance activism in particular geopolitical contexts

GUIDELINES:

  *   Membership Requirement: Only DSA members in good standing are eligible to present at conferences.  Potential presenters may submit a proposal as a non-member, but must be a member of DSA in order to submit a Presenter Acceptance Form. For membership information, visit the Join Us<https://dancestudiesassociation.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b3ffd6f3071e42e239e995567&id=9c5bbda569&e=a23e7ecdbb> section of our website.
  *   Participation Limits: A potential delegate's name may be included on only one proposal submitted to the conference portal, whether as a presenter or as moderator. Though some exceptions apply, these are initiated by the program committee (i.e. if invited by the program committee after a panel has been accepted, a delegate may also serve as a moderator on someone else's panel.)
  *   Graduate Awards: Graduate students interested in having their submissions considered for the Selma Jeanne Cohen Award, or in applying for a Graduate Student Travel Award, can submit here as a part of conference submissions.  Consult the Awards page <https://dancestudiesassociation.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b3ffd6f3071e42e239e995567&id=34a0cf0a3d&e=a23e7ecdbb> for more information.
  *   Remote Participation: If a paper is accepted for presentation at the conference, only the author of the paper may deliver the presentation. Remote requests can be considered on a case-by-case basis (generally for those from regions that prohibit travel to the conference location, or due to health or other emergencies).  See the Conferences<https://dancestudiesassociation.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b3ffd6f3071e42e239e995567&id=159cfd53ff&e=a23e7ecdbb> section of our website for updated information regarding remote presentations.

Note about DSA Working Groups: At each conference, ongoing DSA Working Groups meet immediately before the conference starts to discuss a particular topic. Currently, there are working groups in: Dance and Music; Dance and Technology; Dance History Teachers; Dancing the Long Nineteenth Century; Diversity; Early Dance; Latin American, Latinx, and Caribbean Dance Studies; Popular, Social, and Vernacular; Practice as Research; and Students. Each Working Group is asked to contribute a 10-minute presentation to a "Working Group Lightning Session" at the annual conference, articulating a vibrant question or other vital issue the group is addressing.  If you wish to join an ongoing Working Group, contact its organizer HERE<https://dancestudiesassociation.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b3ffd6f3071e42e239e995567&id=2bc9e28d98&e=a23e7ecdbb> . If you wish to propose a new Working Group, or for additional information about WG requirements, visit our website HERE<https://dancestudiesassociation.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b3ffd6f3071e42e239e995567&id=0e6fefbd8b&e=a23e7ecdbb>.
