项目摘要

This project will examine the intersection between dance and disability in the UK and the impact of strategic and artistic interventions in the dance landscape aiming at changing people's perceptions of difference in dance. Working with People Dancing, the project will seek to look at the short and long-term impact of their project: '11Million Reasons' before going on to develop a dance and disability intervention that examines what impact interventions can have on the public, on performance spaces and venues, as well as arts organisations and policymakers. With a base in Leicester, People Dancing works with, and on behalf of artists, organisations and teachers involved in leading, delivering or supporting community and participatory dance. Their mission is to "transform the lives of individuals and communities through dance". People Dancing's "leadership of the community dance network provides a platform for exchange, critical debate and peer learning, exposure to diverse dance practices, new contacts, and expands professional horizons in terms of profile and professional identity". Their membership reaches in excess of 4,500 dance professionals worldwide.'11 Million Reasons' was conceptualised by People Dancing in 2014 to positively profile Deaf and disabled people who dance. The project developed from their core vision to 'desegregate' Deaf and disabled people from anyone else that dances, and to "help facilitate a change in perceptions that can surround disabled people dancing". With funding from Unlimited Impact, People Dancing commissioned emerging disabled photographer, Sean Goldthorpe to create 20 high quality images inspired by iconic dance moments in film in which Deaf and disabled people are centre stage, re-imagining iconic roles from well-known and loved films from a diversity of genres. They are described as "stunning, powerful, emotive, and humorous images [that] are diverse - with many bringing a subtle but relevant message". By using '11 Million Reasons' as a focus point for the study, the student will explore the decision making processes that led to this work, the reasons why the dance and photographic artists got involved, as well as the short and long-term impact the project has on audiences, performers, and the venues in which the project is exhibited. The student will evaluate the extent to which the project met People Dancing's aims. The learning from the project will then feed into an artistic exploration of art-as-intervention, devised and presented by the student on a theme and within a medium that draws on the student's own expertise and interests, to better understand how creative processes interact with political and social ideologies as well as corporate agendas.The project grows from a long-term collaboration between the Centre for Dance Research at Coventry University and People Dancing, and builds on the knowledge generated as part of the AHRC-funded project 'InVisible Difference: Dance, Disability and Law', led by Sarah Whatley. The project will also feed into a range of sector-leading national initiatives (to which Whatley and Conibere are contributing) that are building partnerships between artists, researchers and policy makers to provide effective advocacy for disabled people in the wider dance and arts community. The aim is for the project to provide People Dancing with a deep evaluation of '11 Million Reasons' and its role in furthering the organisation's aims and strategy. A further aim is for the project to influence public policy relating to arts support particularly for artists and communities who are often marginalised, and to provide further evidence of the UK's leading expertise in the area of participatory and inclusive dance.

该项目将研究英国舞蹈与残疾之间的交集，以及旨在改变人们对舞蹈差异的看法的舞蹈景观中战略和艺术干预的影响。与人民舞蹈合作，该项目将寻求研究他们的项目的短期和长期影响：“1100万个理由”，然后继续开发一个舞蹈和残疾干预，研究干预对公众、表演空间和场地、艺术组织和政策制定者的影响。以莱斯特为基地，人民舞蹈与艺术家、组织和教师合作，并代表他们领导、传播或支持社区和参与性舞蹈。他们的使命是“通过舞蹈改变个人和社区的生活”。人民舞蹈的“社区舞蹈网络的领导提供了一个交流，批判性辩论和同行学习的平台，接触不同的舞蹈实践，新的接触，并在个人形象和职业身份方面拓展专业视野”。他们在全球拥有超过4500名舞蹈专业人士。《一千一百万个理由》于2014年由《People Dancing》发起，旨在积极塑造跳舞的聋哑人和残疾人。该项目从他们的核心愿景发展而来，即将聋哑人和残疾人与其他跳舞的人“隔离开来”，并“帮助改变人们对残疾人跳舞的看法”。在Unlimited Impact的资助下，人们跳舞委托新兴的残疾人摄影师肖恩·戈德索普（Sean Goldthorpe）创作了20幅高质量的图像，这些图像的灵感来自于电影中聋人和残疾人作为中心舞台的标志性舞蹈时刻，重新想象了各种类型的知名和喜爱的电影中的标志性角色。它们被描述为“令人惊叹的、有力的、感人的、幽默的、多样化的图像——其中许多带来了微妙但相关的信息”。通过使用“一千一百万个理由”作为研究的重点，学生将探索导致这项工作的决策过程，舞蹈和摄影艺术家参与其中的原因，以及该项目对观众，表演者和项目展示场所的短期和长期影响。学生将评估该项目在多大程度上满足了People Dancing的目标。从项目中学习到的知识将被用于艺术干预的艺术探索，由学生根据自己的专业知识和兴趣在一个主题和媒介中设计和呈现，以更好地理解创作过程如何与政治和社会意识形态以及企业议程相互作用。该项目源于考文垂大学舞蹈研究中心和人民舞蹈之间的长期合作，并以Sarah Whatley领导的ahrc资助项目“无形的差异：舞蹈、残疾和法律”所产生的知识为基础。该项目还将纳入一系列行业领先的国家倡议（Whatley和Conibere也参与其中），这些倡议正在艺术家、研究人员和政策制定者之间建立伙伴关系，在更广泛的舞蹈和艺术界为残疾人提供有效的支持。该项目的目的是让人们对“一千一百万个理由”及其在促进组织目标和战略方面的作用进行深入评估。该项目的另一个目标是影响与艺术支持有关的公共政策，特别是对经常被边缘化的艺术家和社区的艺术支持，并进一步证明英国在参与性和包容性舞蹈领域的领先专业知识。
