Call for Submissions The Society of Dance History Scholars Annual Conference and Screening of Dance for Camera Stanford University, June 20, 2009 Submission Deadline: May 15, 2009 The Society of Dance History Scholars invites dance for camera submissions for a screening that will be part of its 2009 conference, “Topographies: Sites, Bodies, and Technologies” to be held at Stanford University, June 19-22, 2009. We invite contemporary choreographers and directors who are currently producing dance on film/video to submit their work. The two-hour screening will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2009 in Stanford University’s Annenberg Auditorium. The screening is open to conference participants, who include dancers and dance scholars working primarily in higher education. The conference organizers hope that this event will increase familiarity with the genre of dance for camera within the academic community. Therefore, we are interested in screening work from a mix of established and emerging artists in this interdisciplinary field and hope to gather a representative sample of films from around the world. We are also interested in good quality documentation of live dance and technology performance. Submission Details/Guidelines • Works should not exceed 15 minutes in length. • Works must be submitted on DVD (NTSC or PAL). • Submissions must be received no later than May 15, 2009 in order to receive consideration. • Submissions may be sent to the following address: Colleen Dunagan, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Dance CSU Long Beach 1250 Bellflower Blvd. Long Beach, CA 90840-7201 USA For further information or queries, please contact Colleen Dunagan (cdunagan@csulb.edu) or Roxane Fenton (rfenton@csulb.edu).
