The Dance Discourse Project (2007 – 2016) was a far reaching, far ranging, ambitious project that aimed to articulate in a cohesive and coherent way, from the participants themselves, what is happening in dance in the Bay Area and beyond. Topics of discussion have included site-specific dance, performance and technology, dance criticism, post-multiculturalism, and dancing politics, among others. The Dance Discourse Project took place 2-3 times a year.
