About
Mission Statement
- Foster the practice of dance writing in traditional and experimental forms;
- Contribute to the creative ecosystem by building a historical and social archive of dance and movement-based art;
- Work to dismantle gatekeeping in dance criticism by engaging the voices of performing artists and writers who have historically been sidelined.
We pursue these goals by developing our writing through peer-critique sessions, workshops with guest educators, and a two-tiered editing process.
thINKingDANCE is a place where ideas thrive; where editors, writers, and readers engage one another in transformative dialogue; and where we imagine a more vibrant and just dance media landscape.
