Abstract

This website is a forum for writings evoked by experiences abroad. While traveling through Oceania, West Africa, South America, and Europe, I will post writings predominantly based on my interactions with dance. The title of this website, 'Moving Beyond the Stage,' is the title of a yearlong project I proposed to the Watson Foundation (http://www.watsonfellowship.org/). I am now traveling for twelve months researching various incarnations of that groovy, elusive, and ancient animal called dance. Posted writings vary in form. Whether reports of interviews with dance advocates or practitioners, or observations of innovative and alternative community dance efforts, or critical reviews of performances, this blog is primarily a stage for the cavernous mysteries of art in its international manifestations.
