• Registration
• Draft Timetable
• Abstracts 

The Oxford Dance Symposia focus on the technique, practice and philosophy of dance during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, and we always welcome papers on any aspect of dance during this period. Each year, however, we have a light touch theme to which participants are invited to respond if they wish. The theme for 2023 will be ‘Dance, Costume and Scenography’ a theme to be interpreted as broadly as possible, but within the date range of the symposium. Topics might include costumes for theatrical performances, dressing for communal dancing, the physiology of dance and costume and clothes for ball room dancing.

The Call for Papers has now closed.
