TDRN UK Research Festival 2024: ‘Tap-Centred’ Research: Exploring the Intersections between Practice and Research18 - 22 June Online and In-Person. Workshops, presentations, discussions and live music tap jam! Tickets FREE – £40 with discounts for students and low-income Tap dance research takes many different forms: sifting through archives, developing creative practice, building artistic ideas or engaging with written and oral stories. At TDRN UK we ask how can we approach research in a way that honours the values, traditions and aesthetics of tap dance as a cultural practice and art form. What are the challenges and opportunities when working in an academic system or as an independent researcher? Now in its 3rd year, the TDRN UK Research Festival showcases research connected with tap dance taking place both inside and outside of academic institutions. The sessions feature practical research projects exploring pedagogy, improvisation dramaturgy, and practice research. We share and explore ways of doing and thinking that have helped to shape these research projects and respond to the need for a ‘tap-centered’ approach. The Festival is an opportunity to bring tap dancers from around the UK and the globe together, make connections, and enjoy this dynamic and ever-growing community. We close the in-person day with a live music tap jam and improvisation workshop for beginners.
