Taylor & Francis Ltd Futures of Performance
Book SynopsisFutures of Performance inspires both current and future artists/academics to reflect on their roles and responsibilities in igniting future-forward thinking and practices for the performing arts in higher education. The book presents a breadth of new perspectives from the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and mediated performance and from a range of institutional contexts. Chapters from teachers across various contexts of higher education are organized according to the three main areas of responsibilities of performing arts education: to academia, to society, and to the field as a whole. With the intention of illuminating the intricacy of how performing arts are situated and function in higher education, the book addresses key questions including: How are the performing arts valued in higher education? How are programs addressing equity? What responsibilities do performing arts programs have to stakeholders inside and outside of the academy? What are programs' etTrade Review"What is most meaningful about Futures of Performance is the focus on what individual and collectives of college and university faculty can (and should) do to insure a vibrant and impactful future for the performing arts. Futures of Performance explores the intersection of the vitality of the performing arts in society with the profound potential tertiary education has on preparing vocational professional artists and avocational arts lovers to make and love even more art. The extent to which the volume investigates the socio-political, economic, media, and cultural systems inherent in both the making of art and its consumption, as well as upon the entire educational enterprise, is significant."Tayloe Harding, Dean, School of Music, University of South Carolina, USA "Futures of Performance is distinct in that it places the performing arts in dialogue with each other through an interactive set of responsibilities–to the field, society, and academe–that continually influence and impact each other. One of the strengths of this volume is the personal journeys of the authors as they respond to devising new modes of interaction, the cultural history of their students, unanticipated historical events as well as the politics of the academy, the professional field, and society. Other strengths include the volume’s focus on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). Throughout there is an emphasis on wholistic student centered approaches, responsiveness to unique cultural histories, and an open attitude toward an ever-evolving historical context. The essays in this volume are successful in providing this discursive dialogue and therefore provide an important contribution to a consideration of the future of performance in higher education."Barbara Sellers-Young, Professor Emerita, York University, Toronto, CanadaTable of ContentsSection 1: Responsibilities to Academia Section I Introduction Karen Schupp Performance Across the Disciplines: Envisioning Transdisciplinary Performance Pedagogies in Postsecondary Education Jesse Katen Ethics, Standards, Evaluation, and Support of Creative Research in Academia Ali Duffy, Isabella Gonzales, and Destanie Davidson Preston Ugly Feelings and Social Justice: Interrupting Inaction in Times of Perpetual Crisis Lauren Kapalka Richerme Hosting Co(n)fusion: Art Residencies as Invitation-Practices Janaína Moraes Decolonizing Tertiary Dance Education Through Including Student Voices in a Curricula Change Project Camilla Reppen, Lovisa Lundgren, and Tone Pernille Østern The Creative Spaces at HBCUs Avis HatcherPuzzo, Soni Martin, Denise Murchison Payton, and Amanda Virelles Call of the Butterfly: The Tao of GenuineGenerosity Robert Farid Karimi Section 2: Responsibilities to the Fields Section II Introduction Karen Schupp The Distance of Education Adesola Akinleye Performing Hartford: A Community Turns its Head Rebecca K.
