Our dancing bodies must enact stated values, drawing words off of paper and people into community.
In August 2022 a US Congress Woman, in resisting President Biden's student loan forgiveness, said that she did not want her tax dollars funding "Karen's daughters degree in lesbian dance theory." Yet, resistance to LGBTQIA+ materials, to queer theory, and to critical thinking are happening throughout the world. Dance is doing.
DSA hosted a collaborative, spontaneous Lesbian Dance-Theory Party at the 2022 DSA conference (Vancouver BC). We are not done. Simon Fraser University & Northwestern University have hosted the first two parties of 2023. Check out the community calendar for more, or throw one of your own!
