This is Movement Research Studies Project: Dance and Music Now With Panelists: Douglas Dunn & Steven Taylor, Melanie Maar & Kenta Nagai, Edisa Weeks & Katie Down
October 7, 2014 at Gibney Dance Center 890 Broadway proposed and moderated by Philip Ellis Foster Musicians and dancers have a long and storied relationship with one another, from traditional forms that wed music and dance to narrative storytelling, to orchestral ballets, and on to Cage and Cunningham collaborations. This evening explored the multifaceted ways artists are addressing this relationship today, with a focus on musicians that perform live with dancers and movement-based performance work. Artists discussed and examined their various dynamic approaches to collaboration between and across these fields. Photo: Kenta Nagai and Melanie Maar by Ian Douglas

Movement Research Studies Project: "Vulnerable Systems: Moving Beyond Sustainability" November 5, 2013
2013 Movement Research Studies Project: Vulnerable Systems: Moving Beyond Sustainability Jennifer Monson and Movement Research Gibney Dance Center, November 5, 2013
This Studies Project discussed how the reality of climate change has brought an increased awareness around the fragility of our environment and a heightened interest in sustainable practices. How do we move beyond sustainability towards resiliency, a term currently in broad use in the social sciences? How do we address the current crisis from its roots, rather than perpetuating unworkable systems? Is change a value or an action? How can our practices within the dance community serve as models for adapting to change? Participants discussed different framings of sustainability from the perspectives of various fields, including social science, economics, and urban ecology in a roundtable conversation which invited the dance community and the larger public to explore concrete ways to create resilient systems in their own communities and beyond.
