This project is a partnership between Coventry University Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE), OneDanceUK and Birmingham Dance Network (BDN). The aim of the project is to understand how small arts organizations, artistic researchers and local artists can connect with and influence local & regional policymakers.
The project investigates the challenges inherent in remaining and preserving in the fields of dance, music theatre and performance that otherwise operate under the primacy of presence.
DanceMap is a pioneering heritage initiative funded by Horizon Europe, the European Union’s funding programme for research and innovation.
The objective is to inform policy-making in both South Africa and the UK in relation to IP and diversity strategies for the micro creative industries and international trade. It is also to create strong and lasting conversations among academic researchers, creative industry participants, policy-makers and practitioners across South Africa and the UK; and to foster new academic links between South Africa and the UK through which new research proposals can emerge. This project, and subsequent ones arising out of network activities will also help to strengthen understanding of, and adoption of good practice around IP and diversity by arts and cultural practitioners, thus ensuring greater sustainability for this sector.
The overall purpose of the research is to model a usable practice-based template for sensing the city, drawing on the city of Coventry (UK) as a case-study in the first instance. The template will offer a range of methodologies towards, first, engaging constructively and productively with urban sites using the sensate presence of the human body as the primary means of gathering data and, second, processing and presenting that data in innovative ways within a critical framework that assesses the city's habitability and sustainability.
The Romani Cultural and Arts Company was the lead for the ‘Gypsy Maker 5’ programme a development of the highly successful ‘Gypsy Maker’ project.
This project will run ‘Evaluative Performance’ investigations in different research settings: Contemporary art, engineering and computer science, equality and diversity initiatives and anti-social behavioural interventions at live events.
The project addresses a main challenge which is social inclusion with the potentiality of promoting education among Roma women and girls. The European Union has taken action to implement Roma integration strategies and sets of policy measures aimed at improving the situation of Roma and at closing the existing gaps between Roma and the general population.
