ICTM Study Group on Ethnochoreology
The objectives of the Study Group are to promote research, documentation, and interdisciplinary study of TRADITIONAL DANCE, as well as to provide a forum for cooperation among scholars and students of ethnochoreology by means of international meetings, publications, and correspondence.
The Study Group on Ethnochoreology is open to all ICTM members who are involved in the field of research in traditional dance, either as specialists in the field or in related fields which include consideration of materials relevant to traditional dance.
For some time the Study Group has organised every two years an international Symposium and has published the proceedings (see Publications page). The Study Group also meets informally at ICTM World Conferences. A large percentage of our members attend our Symposia.
The Study Group currently counts 171 members, from over 45 nations worldwide. Membership is obtained by writing to the Study Group Chairperson and returning the Newsletter Information Form, indicating intention of membership, to the Newsletter editor.
