PSi Digest 36 (October 2008) Publications (Items 59 - 64) 59. Amans, Diane. An Introduction to Community Dance Practice. 'I have long argued that we need a rigorous debate and a common language in which to conduct it if we want to make our practice both transparent and shareable. This book makes a hugely helpful contribution.' This introductory textbook is a clear and practical guide to community dance practice today. An expert panel of contributors, including experienced dance artists, practitioners and academics, combine lively issue-based discussion with practical advice about duty of care, inclusive practice and project co-ordination. This book is packed with case studies, interviews and examples that students can use to explore issues in community dance practice. A resources section includes session plans, evaluation tools and questionnaires. As the first comprehensive textbook on community dance this is an invaluable learning tool, for students, emerging dance practitioners and experienced community artists needing to reflect on their practice.

Live Art Development Agency announces Available to buy through Unbound at www.thisisUnbound.co.uk at a special launch price of £12.50 (offer open until 1st September). Documenting Live is a unique publication and dvd resource reflecting the work of key UK based artists working in the 1990s and 2000s, and placing Live Art practices that are informed by questions of cultural identity within critical and historical frameworks. Documenting Live has been developed by the Live Art Development Agency, curator David A Bailey, and Project Director Rajni Shah in response to the challenges of documenting Live Art, and particularly the influential work of artists from culturally diverse backgrounds in the UK. Documenting Live sets out to address these challenges through the creation of an archival and critical document that maps a history; marks a territory; and looks to the future. It has been developed as a resource for artists, scholars, students, curators, historians, policy makers, and anyone interested in the cultural landscape of the UK. Barby Asante, Ansuman Biswas, Malika Booker, Sonia Boyce, George Chakravarthi, Robin Deacon, Yara El-Sherbini, Harminder Singh Judge, Keith Khan, David Medalla, Harold Offeh, Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa, and Ali Zaidi collaborated on this mapping project through the creation of biographical postcards and video commentaries, the selection of illustrative documentation of their work, and participation in round table discussions prompted by David A Bailey’s essay Documenting Live: Performance-Based Art and the Racialised Body. In their illuminating and provocative contributions the participating artists reflect on the people, movements and ideas of the 20th century moment that have influenced, and continue to influence, their own performative practices; consider the formal, conceptual and cultural issues informing their work in the 21st century; and offer invaluable insights into the different histories and experiences of black artists in the UK, and the evolving and shifting nature of Live Art itself. Documenting Live contains David A Bailey’s mapping essay Performance-Based Art and the Racialised Body; the artists’ postcards; and a dvd featuring the artists’ commentaries, excerpts from key works, and documentation of the round table discussions. Documenting Live has been commissioned and published by the Live Art Development Agency in 2008 as part of Restock, Rethink, Reflect, a programme of initiatives for artists exploring and questioning notions of cultural identity. 61.
