Accumulation: A Conference on Dance History

Accumulation: A Conference on Dance History

December 08, 2023
9am-6:30pm

Location: 

Lehman Center for American History, Room 406, International Affairs Building, 420 W 118th St

Event Type: 

Accumulation: A Conference on Dance History" takes its title from a series of choreographic works, the Accumulation dances by Trisha Brown, in which movement becomes language and acquires meaning through repetition. "Accumulation" also describes the process of doing historical research: gradually, over time, the historian acquires knowledge, sources, and convictions, building upon existing scholarship and restructuring what they already know, in order to construct a compelling explanation of change over time.

Our conference takes seriously the idea that movement has meaning and shapes social and material reality. The study and practice of dance offers an interdisciplinary framework for scholars to consider questions of embodiment in historical and social science research. Methodologically, dance can widen our understanding of research practice–movement becomes a source for interpretation alongside traditional archival materials. As an object of historical analysis, dance expands the field of cultural, social, and intellectual history by asserting performance as a site of knowledge production. Through paper presentations, roundtable discussions, and a keynote lecture, invited speakers will explore the many ways in which movement is an essential component of history and share how they incorporate dance into broader studies of the past and present. 

Participants: Lynn Garafola, Anna Waller, Carrie Streeter, Emily Hawk, Zita Allen, Cori Olinghouse, MiRi Park, Elizabeth McPherson, Colleen Hooper, Juliana DeVaan, Emily Needham, Elizabeth Schwall, Lauren Erin Brown, Laura Quinton, and Julia Foulkes.
