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 Fall/Winter 2025 print issue features the following:
Eric Garcia entreats institutions to embrace and support the queer, trans, Black, brown, disabled, Indigenous, and community-rooted future of dance. Esmé Boyce weaves her young son into her artistic practice, demonstrating that choreography can be malleable, compassionate, and supportive. Devin Hill details their experiences of repeated inaccessibility and prejudice in dance, demonstrating how we must confront and deconstruct ableism. Yvonne Montoya highlights the work of Lucy Salazar, who is singlehandedly trying to save Los bailes de salón de Nuevo México from disappearing. Jill Randall catalogues how dance artists in the Bay Area are defying the age of Trump by continuing to make relevant and dynamic work. Dr. C. Kemal Nance describes the value of Umfundalai, a contemporary African dance technique derived from traditions throughout the African diaspora. Nikhita Winkler reminds us of the need to unarmor and breathe deeply to find pleasure, presence, and power. Marlena Gittleman shares her empowering experience at a workshop with Colectivo LASTESIS, the feminist Chilean performance art collective. Perel guides us through their performance of Natural Acts, which explores the personal loss of their mother alongside the historical mass killing of disabled people during World War II. Finally, visual artist Al Sabrie lends their queer and liberation centric compositions to amplify and compliment the many perspectives of this issue.
