'Critical and creative engagements with dance'
A brand new magazine for the end of the year, this is Motor Dance Journal #1. Mustard-yellow and bookish in size, this neatly put together journal explores dance both critically and creatively, meaning (really) that there's something in here for everyone — whether your hips lie or not.
This first edition is themed 'The Solo', as editors Hannah and Isabelle write: 'We look to the solo dance as a provocation, rather than a category: what does it mean to dance on one's own? Is the soloist ever really dancing alone?' A fitting theme for a magazine first conceived of during 2020.
