With the inaugural issue of The Dancer-Citizen, we begin by claiming a space for conversation arising from our unique knowledge as dancer/scholars: what do we know about citizenship, belonging and mutual obligation, and how are we using, building on, investigating and challenging this knowledge? How are we working, what are our disparate views and methods, and in what forms are we expressing, embodying, and reporting? What connections are we making, or could we make, with each other and other disciplines?
