Happy to be attending the DSA Annual Conference at Northwestern University. Grateful for research support from Wake Forest University! This year’s theme is “Dancing in Common.“ [What might it mean to speak about “the common” or “the commons” in relation to dancing bodies? How do long-standing ideas about the common good and common property inflect past and present practices? What opportunities might dance and its concomitant registers of embodied exchange and identity offer in solidarity to emancipator modes of sociality? Thinking about our different experiences and understandings of the commons, we gather in Chicago to reflect, move and create.]
