Online Treasures Exhibit—Call for Contributors
The Dance Heritage Coalition is soliciting contributions of essays for a new online exhibition presenting America’s Irreplaceable Dance Treasures: The First 100. The site will convert a successful traveling exhibit into a permanent online resource, including a 1,000-word essay on each of the Treasures, augmented by multimedia, links and references. This online exhibition will provide a much-needed web source for reliable scholarship on dance and a gateway to further research.
We are seeking writers to contribute 1,000-word essays, which should offer a fresh perspective on the significance of the subject, provide an accurate biographical/historical overview, and place the topic within dance scholarship. Essays should be written in clear, jargon-free language and include a list of recommended references.
Writers should have substantial knowledge of the subject, including academic study or professional experience, and have a successful record of professional and/or academic writing. If you are interested in contributing, please list the subject(s) you would like along with about 100 words on your credentials related to those topics. If available, include selected links or references to published works.
Contact: Imogen Smith, Project Manager, at ismith@danceheritage.org.
