The Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE) focuses on an interdisciplinary approach to dance research, blending artistic and academic perspectives across fields such as cultural heritage, technology, intellectual property, health, and practice-based studies.
C-DaRE organizes numerous conferences, symposia, and research events that draw participants from the UK and worldwide. Our biennial Dance and Somatic Practices conference serves as a global platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange ideas through panels, workshops, and performances. Additionally, we host the C-DaRE Invites series, where each event offers a distinctive experience co-created with staff and guest contributors. These gatherings may feature presentations, discussions, performances, or film screenings, and are typically free and open to the public. Presenters range from C-DaRE members to external researchers and artists, with each session centered on themes tied to the invitee's work. Whenever possible, events are scheduled around mealtimes—breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea—to foster dialogue and collaboration over shared food and drinks.
