Follow Associate Professor of Dance Ruth Barnes as she documents her choreographic project “Here, There, and Everywhere” this summer from Scotland.

“Here, There, and Everywhere” comprises both ethnographic research and original choreography while addressing notions of displacement and dislocation, isolation and community, and what it means to settle. Barnes will travel to several locations in Scotland (Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands) to interview and participate in a collaborative choreographic process with several dance artists prominent in that country. Video and a written record will document all collaborative rehearsals, observations and interviews, and assist in analyzing the dialogs and creative processes. In addition to the collaborative work, Barnes will choreograph a solo for each location and artist, a sort of “postcard” or “journal entry” to reflect her experience here, there and everywhere.
