CONTACT QUARTERLY

CQ Unbound | Onsite Access CI Newsletter | Onsite AccessAn online dance magazine that writes about underrepresented dance makers, publishing dance reviews, interviews and features.
Formed by seven writers, the publication creates content that puts independent artists at the forefront; writing reviews, conducting interviews and using social media channels to support and promote artists’ work.
“Mainstream publications, with an emphasis on traffic-driven content, rarely connect with the contemporary dance scene that independent dance artists spend their careers working in. At DAJ we are committed to documenting the whole story, to maximise the reach of independent artists’ work.”
DAJDance Index was founded by Lincoln Kirstein in 1942. Over the following seven years, 56 issues were published, presenting original scholarship on a wide range of dance subjects.
In the spirit of its predecessor the new Dance Index, launched in 2017 by Eakins Press Foundation, examines the multi-dimensional richness & diversity of the world of dance. Its intention is to surprise & excite a general audience with a new level of understanding and appreciation of the real & critical importance of dance in contemporary culture.
You can use the online ‘past issues’ tool to search & view the original 56 issues of the journal, published between 1942-1948.
18 of the original print issues from 1944-1948 & all issues published from 2017 can be found in the library Journal Collections. The most recent print issue can be found on the journal rack in the library.
