For Screen, Not Stage:

Dance for camera (also known as screendance) is a subset of the already under-considered field of dance, occupying a liminal space between dance, film, new media, and performance art. As such, dance for camera has rarely been considered in depth in terms of its descriptive records in archival and library spaces. This article considers the current status of dance for camera records through the comparison of records from the Dance Heritage Video Archive, Jacob’s Pillow Archives, Jerome Robbins Dance Division, and Merce Cunningham Trust. It makes suggestions for paths towards improvement that honor the interdisciplinary nature of these and other types of resources existing at the intersections of different cultural fields.
