Investigación performativa en doctorados en danza en España

Doctoral theses emerging from artistic practices have increased in the last two decades driving the expansion of new research models at universities. This approach consists of using artistic processes that reveal aspects that are invisible from other research perspectives. However, we are still far from a consensus about terms, practices and assessment criteria. This article presents the current landscape of doctoral research based on performative explorations in dance in order to reveal the extent of the official and institutional development of artistic doctorates in dance in Spain. We conducted an analysis of research-based publications on artistic practice and tracked emerging institutional regulations at national level. Doctoral work identified as pioneer in this type of research in Spain was also analysed

La danza como intervención educativa en la tercera edad

This article is a synthesis of the empirical studies on dance as an educational intervention in the elderly in residential settings and care homes in Spain and the United Kingdom. Its objective is to identify the dance activities used and the demonstrated impact on learning, health, well-being and quality of life. The search was conducted in Spanish and English in a period of three decades (1990-2020) of studies with populations older than 60 years. The conclusions reveal a very limited approach in terms of measuring the impact of dance on the elderly on the variety of factors mentioned above, which makes it difficult to understand the true and holistic value and benefits of such activities in this population group

Prácticas curatoriales en el arte: el caso de la danza

Traditionally, the concept of art curation has been used to refer exclusively to the visual arts and curation has taken place mainly in the form of a museum exhibition. This situation has promoted the care of tangible art and excluded ephemeral arts such as dance. From a systematic questioning of curatorial theory and the documentation of artistic curation, this investigation examines different curatorial traditions in the arts and reveals that the performative arts have carried out their own conservation and exhibition activities outside the curatorial discourse. However, we also found that in the 21st century, the concept of curation is expanded and redefined, allowing dance studies a new perspective from which to articulate and value the ways in which dance is preserved, interpreted, selected and performed
