The DanceHE Early Career Group would like invite new and existing members to their next guest seminar which is taking place at: Questioning the Contemporary: Rethinking Process, Practice and Product in 21st Century Contemporary Dance Practices, Leeds Beckett University: Friday 16th Oct 2015.
Full conference details can be found below.
Professor Christy Adair and Professor Ramsay Burt will be leading a guest seminar about publishing from 1.30-2.15 on Friday in the Jubilee room.
The Early Career Group is designed for those who consider themselves in the early stages of a career in Dance in Higher Education. This may be in relation to teaching, research or postgraduate study. We welcome people from all backgrounds, for example:
- Those who are new to higher education dance lecturing or research
- Those who have worked professionally in the industry and want to get into higher education teaching
- Those who have worked in other teaching contexts and wish to move to higher education
- Those who have engaged in higher education at some level, for example as a visiting lecturer, but want to develop their careers on this path
- Those who have undertaken research roles and want to transition into a lecturing role
- Those in postgraduate study
The group aims to provide opportunities to network and support each other as well as share skills and initiate opportunities for development. We intend to hold meetings three times a year, usually along side other CPD events. We also offer a range of activity that involves working with more experienced academics and DanceHE board members.
If you have any questions about the group, or are interested in attending this event please contact Rachel Farrer ().

How do we Make Dance Work?
Questioning the Contemporary: Rethinking Process, Practice and Product in 21st Century Contemporary Dance Practices
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Professor Susan Melrose and Dr. Simon Ellis
Through a combination of presentations, performative papers, lecture demonstrations and panel discussions, this two-day conference aims to explore the ways in which perceived boundaries between dance-making processes and performance are now blurred and how this impacts on the way in which we navigate contemporary dance practice in the 21st century. We invite you to consider and question whether new modes and tropes in contemporary dance-making and presentation can unravel new thinking in dance.
We hope that you can join us this October, for further information and to book please follow the link below:
