About
The Bay Area’s publication dedicated to dance, In Dance, is known for its engaging interviews with local and visiting artists, articles that prompt and reflect conversations in the community, and a featured list of Bay Area dance artists and organizations. In 2020, In Dance shifted to a quarterly, digital publication in response to the pandemic and continues to amplify a variety of voices.
In Dance Magazine Call for Contributors
My name is Nkeiruka Oruche, an Igbo multi-disciplinary creative, producer and cultural organizer based in the Bay Area, California. I am currently the guest editor for Dancers’ Group publication, In Dance. This issue’s theme is ‘Home is Where The Dance Is’.
The issue is focused on people of African descent and what our intimate and informal connections to dance are. How dance connects us to our family/roots. What dances did our family/homes gift us, or seed in us. How our connections/practice of dance in diaspora connects back to the places of origin. What images or depictions of dance did we experience from/at home. The issue wants to explore what dance looks like for us at ‘home’ — focusing on our connections to dance in intimate and safe spaces and environments. Where we’ve felt seen, where we’ve felt rooted, and where we’ve felt connected.
Calling writers, visual artists, filmmakers, content creators, photographers who can create work that speak to the issue’s theme.
