Stance on Dance IN PRINT!
In addition to our weekly online content, Stance on Dance publishes a twice-a-year print publication featuring several dance writers in each issue and covering myriad perspectives.
The Spring/Summer 2026 print issue features the following:
London-based Igbo-American artist, writer, and dramaturg Chibueze Crouch-Anyarogbu searches for vestiges of women in Igbo masquerade. New York City-based dancer and choreographer Adriana Pierce describes how the isolation she experienced in her queer identity led her to found Queer the Ballet. New York City-based dance artist and scholar Raven Malouf-Renning reflects on their journey back to school for an MA in Performance Studies at NYU Tisch School of the Arts at the age of 49. Las Abuelitas de Oro, a group of women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who perform ballet folklórico in San Antonio, Texas, demonstrate the value of cultural and intergenerational exchange. Georgia-based visual artist and dancer Ruth Schowalter shares how a life experiencing “the great dance” has prepared her to illustrate Cynthia Winton-Henry’s poem and future book, The Great Dance. Kai Hazelwood, a transdisciplinary artist and educator based in Amsterdam, guides readers on a choose-their-own adventure into the realm of fragility and shedding. Courtney King contemplates the mercurial nature of legacy with Rachael Dichter, a dance artist in the Bay Area and partner of the late choreographer Jess Curtis. Rashida Alisha Hagakore and Kathryn Dickason delve into the history of Hawai’i-based dancer Bodhitara Diane Searles and her imprint on ecstatic dance. San Francisco-based choreographer and arts curator Joe Landini considers the state of contemporary concert dance and how the arts scene has changed during his two decades running arts spaces. Albuquerque-artist Dagmar Shaw lends her gorgeous renderings of dancers to this issue. And Maggie Stack, based in Reno, Nevada, brings a little levity in the form of the comic, The Bunion.
