Making
a Difference in Dance
Exploring Questions of Ethics and Politics in the Artistic,
Educational and Institutional Practice of Dance Art
The research project Making a Difference in Dance investigates
ethical and political issues in artistic, educational and institutional
practices of dance art. By exploring and critically reflecting current
practices in the field of dance this research project enhances both
awareness as well as discussion of ethical and political features
involved in the daily working lives of dance artists, dance teachers
and students.
The research project consists of several subprojects. The subprojects
investigate the power structures and moral practices in institutions
producing dance art as well as in educational institutions of dance.
They also look into the issues related to power in dance pedagogy
as well as the ethical concerns related to the creation of dance
works.
The research conducted in the project will be reported and published
as an anthology, which consists of articles written by the researches
of the project as well as the affiliated senior scholars. The anthology
will be published in a research conference
that will be arranged by the scholars of this project during fall
2004.

The
end of the common world has come when it is seen only under
one aspect and is permitted to present itself in only one
perspective. (Arendt
1958, 58)
Man's
inability to rely upon himself or to have complete faith in
himself (which is the same thing) is the price human beings
pay for freedom; and the impossibility of remaining unique
masters of what they do, of knowing its consequences and relying
upon the future, is the price they pay for plurality and reality,
for the joy of inhabiting together with others a world whose
reality is guaranteed for each by the presence of all. (Arendt
1958, 244)
