Article Abstract:
Participants at the Study of Dance Conference held in the UK in Apr. 1995 acknowledged the growing interdisciplinary character of most fields of inquiry. This attitude was evident in presentations of various topics at the conference, which included feminist analysis of women portrayed in music videos and the notion of the body as a performance site. Other speakers addressed the role of technology in breaking down barriers to women's movement.
