From the CC editors

This Winter, Marissa Perel joins Lydia Bell as artist co-editor. We will share writings and conversations that consider dance and the presence of the body across forms. We are interested in an ongoing investigation into value, time, economies, processes and histories of artists and communities in the U.S. and abroad. We want to engage with your ideas and interests; please contact us with your submission inquiries.

Critical Correspondence is an artist-driven project of Movement Research that aims to activate, develop and increase the visibility of critical discourse on dance and movement-based performance work.

We initiate conversations and writings to map the language surrounding current practices and to establish a dialogue between artists and others who are engaged with this work. We also host contributions from artists/writers traveling, working in different localities or reporting from a particular working process.

Editors:
Lydia Bell
Marissa Perel

To contribute or propose an interview, research project or other form of writing, please contact us. In keeping with Movement Research’s mission, we are especially interested in writings that explore an artistic process over time, with the understanding that we are using the term process in its widest possible definition.
