What is DUC?
Dance Under Construction is an interdisciplinary forum for presenting graduate student work on dance, the body and performance. It originated as an initiative of the graduate students of UCLA's Department of World Arts and Cultures and has been hosted by various UC campuses. Dance Under Construction has grown to an annual student-run event for dance and performance scholars, as well as those in related disciplines. Designed for the development of intellectual inquiry in a supportive and rigorous environment, the conference offers students a chance to explore through experimental modes of research and performance. This interdisciplinary event provides a rare and important discursive space for the stimulation and presentation of cutting-edge research in topics related to the body as a site of cultural identification. Previous conferences have addressed artistic and intellectual exploration of themes such as Disability, Black Aesthetics, Technology and Dance, Globalization, Transnational Bodies, Gender and Sexuality, Dance and Popular Culture, and Postcolonialism and Performance.
Funded by Campus Programming Committee and co-sponsored by the Department of Dance (UC Riverside), and the Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies (UC Berkeley).
