COVID-19 continues to have an impact on all areas of society, and the cultural sector is still in the process of learning about what this means long term. Contemporary dance in particular has had to discover new ways to be resilient and creative not only in terms of social distancing with its impact on how dancers can train and rehearse, but also adapting priorities for audience engagement and participation.
This AHRC-funded Network project is led by Prof Roger Kneebone (PI), Imperial College, London and Sarah Whatley (Co-I) and brings together a network of practitioners, academics, and educators from music, dance, fine arts, medicine, and science to investigate the role of cross-disciplinary approaches to performance.

What does social choreography mean today, and to what extent can this field provide new frameworks to help address the issue of cultural stereotyping of refugees? Violent military conflict, environmental crises, breakdown of social, racial or ethnic integration, are some of the many reasons why millions of peoples are being displaced across the world. Immigration is regarded today as arguably one of the most pressing political issues by voters and the wider public, and not only in a post-Brexit UK. Whilst the problem of forced migration is typically addressed from within the social sciences (e.g. migration and diaspora studies, sociology, political science, or development studies), little is known about the way in which the movement arts and bodily perspectives are responding to such crises. The gap in knowledge that the network is aiming to address concerns a lack of understanding of embodied socio-choreographic practice at a regional and cross-national level.
