Call for submissions
Deadline for all submissions: 14 March 2015
Notification to presenters: by 1 April 2015
The committee invites submissions from a wide range of practitioners and researchers on the theme of movement in Dalcroze and related practices, for example: the ways in which musicians move to make music, types and theories of movement, traditions and cultures of movement, moving to diverse sources of music (improvised, live, recorded or imagined), movement for specific pedagogical, artistic or therapeutic ends, and observing and facilitating movement.
The following themes are illustrative:
- Music, sound and movement relationships in music, dance, somatic practices, theatre and therapy
- Theories of movement
- Improvised and codified movement in Dalcroze and related practices
- Types and uses of movement in current and past Dalcroze practice
- The dynamics of group and solo movement
- Cultural perspectives on movement, gesture and personal space and how these interact with Dalcroze teaching and learning worldwide
- The role of movement in the historical development of Dalcroze Eurhythmics
- Observing and facilitating movement in arts, education and healthcare contexts
- Issues in conceptualizing, visualizing and verbalizing movement
- Anatomical, physiological, psychological and neuroscientific perspectives on movement
We welcome presentations on music, movement and the body from a broad range of disciplines (and all their sub-disciplines) including: anthropology, architecture, biomedical science, cultural studies, dance and somatic practices, education, ethnomusicology, gender studies, history, literature, media studies, musicology, music therapy, philosophy, politics, psychology, sociology, theatre and performance studies, and visual arts.
