What is dance writing? Is it reportage? Documentation? Analysis? Opinion? Advocacy? Creative response? What do we want and need it to be in a time of declining opportunities for professional arts writers in mainstream media and the rapid rise of alternative media?

In this six-week series, we will focus on writing as a response to dance, an equally creative act utilizing the resources of the Internet. We will fully engage with the most alive art imaginable, the intimate art of the body, by liberating the potential of our voices.  We intend to blast open the traditional role of dance critic and offer dance artists a dynamic new partner. Writing on Dance is open to experienced and prospective arts journalists as well as anyone interested in exploring the power of dance and writing. To apply, submit a one-page letter (350 word maximum) via email to Estelle Woodward Arnal at estelle@dtw.org detailing why you want to take this course. Please place the letter in the body of the email and include all of your contact information.
