" "Moving Together" asserts that the arts, specifically dance, have a significant, yet largely un examined, role to play in the questioning and crafting of our plurialist society... The chapiters in this collection ask readers to consider how teachers, choreographers, dancers, presenters, arts administrator, audiences and reviewers practices plurialism in Canada. Their choreographic works, performance conventions, and attendant media responses reveal how identities and notions of difference are oerseived within and beyond racially and ethnically defined communities. their successes and challenges serve as exemplars and cautions not only for other artists, but also as models that can be transposed into broader contexts of pluralism. Most notably. like other forms of soft diplomacy, dance can help to "set the stage" for social change. Dance brings people together to engage in non-treatening, non-legislated ways. It povides opportunities to learn about cultures that are different from one's own. It facilitatesmoments when groups of people who have been historically marginalized take center stage - literally and figuratively - and exercise agency. In other words, over the courseof this collection, we argue that dance is an effective mode of inquiry to highlight the shifting concerns of pluralism in Canada" 4e de couverture
