In recent years, there has been increased attention
paid to the ownership of dance. There has been important work done in the area
of dance and copyright1
as well as the examination of the way ownership is managed via
social norms through the ‘commons’2
and as a form of ‘gift’.3 The increased circulation of dance online
through archives, video platforms and social media sites has led to multiple
debates about the copying and re-embodiment of dances,4 reigniting important
conversations about appropriation, acknowledgment and credit.5
At the same time, there has been a flourishing of work
on dance and performance ontology. For example, long-standing debates about the
ephemerality of dance and performance have been reframed through discussions
about the ‘post-ephemeral’6and
materiality.7 There
have also been new perspectives offered on questions about the nature of dances
and the way in which they exist.8,9
In this symposium, we are interested in exploring how
these two areas intersect in the context of online dance and performance. The
event builds on and shares the findings from Moving Online:
Ontology and Ownership of Internet Dance https://movingonline.coventry.domains

ontology of dance or performance on the internet. We welcome consideration of
dance and performance in all of their forms, genres and online contexts.
