New work at Festival of New Dance
Made up of live performance, workshops and community events, the Festival of New Dance opens tomorrow, October 7, in St. John’s, NL. This year’s lineup includes Dulcinea’s Lament by Dulcinea Langfelder (below), The Muted Note by Susanna Hood and Scott Thomson, Left by Joe Ink, the worth of by Sarah Joy Stoker, EESTI: Myths and Machines by Peter Trosztmer, Inheritor Album by 605 Collective, Siren by Joe Leslie, Affair of the Heart by Jo Leslie, Pants on Fire by Louise Moyes and Infinity Doughnut by Katie Ward (above). “I see Infinity Doughnut as a blind and imaginative system of navigation exploring inanimate and also human phenomena,” says Ward. The full-length work premieres in St. John’s before touring to Tangente in Montréal in November, Centennial Theatre in Lennoxville, QC, in February 2015 and TBC: Nottdance Festival in Nottingham, UK, in March 2015. The Festival of New Dance has been presented annually since 1990 by Neighbourhood Dance Works.

Collective Copyright
As dance artists navigate projects and performances, they encounter differing ideas of authorship. The evolving relationship between artists and digital media sharing have also shaped how these concepts are understood. Slinger spoke with several contemporary dance artists about their understandings of ownership, authorship and the role of intellectual property in their art-making processes. Slinger also weighs in with Carys Craig, a scholar of intellectual property, who argues that the legal system imposes binaries, such as choreographer/performer or work/performance, on creative work that do not speak to how dance is created, performed and shared.
