Although the notice for this meeting came in rather late and the symposium
occurred this past weekend, the website contains abstracts of the papers
delivered at the conference.
The issues of dance preservation itself is not directly an issue for NINCH,

and dance resources make it an important issue. Abstracts available are as

PRESERVE, INC. presents A DECADE OF DANCE PRESERVATION SYMPOSIUM
THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY - MAY 1 AND 2
at the JOYCE SOHO THEATER
155 MERCER STREET, NEW YORK CITY
How do we preserve the legacy of dance? How do we document our cultural
heritage? What has been achieved in the field over the past ten years?
A DECADE OF DANCE PRESERVATION will examine these issues and disseminate
models of preservation, providing a framework for other dance companies and
organizations to follow, strengthening our dance heritage and setting an
agenda for the next decade.
Using the findings from the NEA/Mellon Foundation report IMAGES OF AMERICAN
DANCE: DOCUMENTING AND PRESERVING A CULTURAL HERITAGE as a point of
departure, representatives from some forty major dance documentation and
preservation projects will explore the range of archival initiatives
undertaken in the past ten years. An exposition of dance preservation
models, videotapes, books, films, CD-ROM's, websites, and new
technologies will be on display throughout Saturday's sessions.
If you can't join us in person, please join us on-line at
www.preserve-inc.org.

questions, and contributions will help inform the field.
Cheers!
