Article Title:Developments in Dance Research: The UK Dance Research Matters Programme
Abstract:
The 2020 Dance Research Matters (DRM) campaign led to the launch of the 500,000 pound AHRC-funded Dance Research Matters Network programme towards the end of 2022. The article discusses the challenging backdrop against which it was formed, and how it exemplifies the mutual aims that researchers and funding bodies can achieve by working together. It asks what 'resilience' and 'transformation' might mean for alternative systems (and ways of being) within and beyond the human domain, and also for models of socio-political organisation at the shifting borders of the dance research sector. Examples and issues arising from the aims and events of the five DRM Networks illustrate how crucial it is when taking an ecological approach to funding dance research, for funders, institutions, researchers, and the Creative Industries to have an awareness of the complex and multi-layered implications involvedfor individuals, dance-related communities and others.
