几十年来，联合王国的社区舞蹈运动一直非常积极地为被剥夺权利的社区和个人组织和提供舞蹈项目。但在1997年大选后艺术资助政策发生变化后，这些举措获得了动力。本文探讨了舞蹈社会包容项目如何寻求不仅让那些被排除在主流机会参与舞蹈，但也赋予他们权力。本文的目的是批判性地审视这些目标，同时承认舞蹈界在欢迎传统上与艺术形式无关的群体参与方面所做的工作。Sara Houston首先设定了欢迎赋权概念在艺术项目中扎根的政治和社会背景，然后继续讨论实践者在倡导社会包容政策的背景下对该术语的含义，并讨论了索赔的例子如何在实践中表现出来，如果他们这样做的话。她审查了针对庇护住房单元居民的一项为期三年的计划和在成年男性最高安全监狱中进行的一个为期十八个月的项目，概述了这些项目提供的内容，并考虑了记录赋权证据的局限性。萨拉·休斯顿在萨里大学舞蹈研究系讲课。她在舞蹈中的社会包容倡议的工作已出版的动画，初级卫生保健，并已在政府白色文件中使用。
The community dance movement in the United Kingdom has been very active in organizing and delivering dance projects for disenfranchised communities and individuals for several decades. But initiatives have gained momentum following a shift in policy for arts funding after the 1997 General Election. This article examines how dance social-inclusion projects seek not only to allow those excluded from mainstream opportunities to participate in dance, but also to empower them. The aim of the paper is critically to examine these aims while acknowledging the work that the dance community has done in welcoming participation from groups traditionally not associated with the art form. Sara Houston firstly sets the political and social context that welcomes notions of empowerment to take root within arts projects, then goes on to debate what practitioners mean by the term within the context of championing a social inclusion policy, and discusses how examples of claims manifest themselves in practice, if they do at all. She examines one three-year initiative for residents of a sheltered housing unit and an eighteen-month project in an adult male maximum security prison, outlining what the projects offered and considering the limits of recording evidence of empowerment. Sara Houston lectures in the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Surrey. Her work on social inclusion initiatives in dance has been published by Animated, Primary Health Care, and has also been utilized in a Government White Paper.
