Researchers gather for February 2025 symposium.
SLIPPAGE is delighted to reflect on the assemblage of artists who created the February 2025 symposium. Researchers reflected on burlesque dance, footworking, majorette dance, and the long histories of Black social encounters that produce elaborate contexts for thinking with dance. On Friday February 28 and Saturday March 1, a dozen researchers gathered in sessions open to a general public to share ideas and movements. The event was once again overseen and coordinated by Dr. Webster McDonald, currently a postdoctoral affiliate in the SLIPPAGE lab. The distinguished array of speakers included Meida McNeal and E. Moncell Durden, along with Dr. Ayo Walker of Columbia College Chicago. Visual documentation of the events will be available here soon!
