SUMMARY:Dance for World Community Conference
DESCRIPTION:Conference Registration is now open!\nJune 5-8\, 2025\nHarvard Square\, Cambridge MA\n \nConcern about climate change and its disproportionate impact on under-resourced or otherwise disadvantaged communities continues to grow. After decades of persistent advocacy and activism to advance social and environmental justice\, recent destabilizing orders from top US government officials are brazenly countermanding advances in climate science\, public health\, education\, diversity\, inclusion\, equity and other areas. It is no wonder why\, in today’s environment\, independent artists and arts organizations are looking to expand their role as advocates and activists\, to support creative and rational solutions to the critical global issues that ultimately affect us all. \nFrom the muralist who mobilizes an entire community to paint uplifting images in a depressed urban space\, to the composer who writes a symphony to evince the destruction that humanity is inflicting on the planet’s ecological systems\, artists of all media and forms continue to respond to the urgencies of our age. \n \nDance for World Community\, initiated in 2009 by a ballet organization in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, proposes that dance is particularly well suited to effective advocacy and activism. Inherently social\, dance is universally understandable\, has great potential to bring diverse people together across cultural divides and can quickly build trust and community cohesion. \nPowerful as it is\, dance is one of the most under-resourced sectors in America and is underrepresented in many institutional settings. In spite of the steady increases in the number of training and performance centers\, established schools and companies are notoriously insular and inward-looking. The sector lacks the inclusive\, unified voice it needs to respond to the challenges that now all the arts and other industries are facing in 2025. \n \nHow will we as dancers — performers\, instructors\, choreographers\, administrators\, scholars\, independent dance artists and aficionados — respond to the critical social and environmental crises that can no longer be ignored by any of us? \nIn this conference\, we will examine different initiatives and models\, exchange ideas and begin to build the necessary networks to strengthen our efforts to make a difference. Through this shared process\, we will rouse the advocate and activist in each of us.
