IDENTITY AND CHOREOGRAPHIC PRACTICE
IDENTITY AND CHOREOGRAPHIC PRACTICE The fifth instalment of a series of publications produced by Serendipity. Identity and Choreographic Practice examines how culture and training influence choreographic vocabulary and also touches upon how identity is revealed in practice. Leading practitioners and researchers explore topics ranging from the challenges and triumphs faced by Black dancers when attempting to break the glass ceiling of classical ballet, a reflection on colonial pasts and new aesthetics, and a discussion of how the rich, diverse and complex heritage of the African and African Caribbean diaspora has influenced contemporary dance.
From early trailblazers to contemporary ground breakers, Black Women in Dance: Stepping Out of the Barriers, is an exciting publication celebrating and exploring the impact that Black women have made on the international dance ecology. This publication explores topics from the need for institutions and infrastructure to support work from African and African Caribbean artists, and the key role of women within these organisations, to artists’ journeys taken to develop new aesthetics and an individual choreographic voice. The contributors also reflect upon the obstacles they have had to overcome as they have progressed in their careers and some of the challenges they still have to face. Above all, Black Women in Dance is a celebration of the tenacity, strength and creativity of the authors, their peers and their predecessors.

BLURRING BOUNDARIES: URBAN STREET MEETS CONT
The third instalment of a series of publications produced by Serendipity, Blurring Boundaries explores the multiplicity of dance styles influenced by urban context, and the connections, collaborations and clashes between urban street and contemporary dance. Featuring the voices of leading dance practitioners and researchers, the publication examines topics such as the key influences of Black practitioners, the interplay between music and dance, cultural appropriation, ownership and the migration of social dance to the theatre. Blurring Boundaries contributes a dialogue around the cultural origins, and a point of recognition in the ever evolving dance ecology.
STEPPING OUT OF THE BARRIERS
IN SITU: RESPONDING TO SPACE, PLACE, PEOPLE AND TIME
Dance can be anywhere, in a studio, on screen, in the streets, on a stage; dance can bring communities together, share lived experiences beyond barriers and express moments of joy. Dance can be a powerful tool for change. This publication brings together dance artists, practitioners and educators, rooted in the African and African Caribbean Diaspora, to share ideas and research as a part of a collective questioning exploring In Situ: Responding to Space, Place, People and Time.
