ResDance Series 5: Episode 2: Considerations of the screen as a site of discovery and creation with Harmony Bench In this episode, Harmony shares insight into ways of thinking about the screen as a site of creation, dissemination and discovery.  Alongside sharing the processes and approaches employed in her research, Harmony discusses the theoretical frameworks that more widely inform her research and reflects upon her translation of thinking across discourse as an interdisciplinary researcher.  Throughout the episode, we discuss the specific questions that the screen as a site poses to dance, dance history and wider scholarship.  In her reflections, Harmony highlights the importance of contextualising, historicising and situating thinking, alongside holding ourselves, as a researchers and scholars, accountable to read and learn beyond our own fields of inquiry. Harmony Bench researches practices, performances, and circulations of dance in the contexts of digital and screen media. She is Associate Professor of Dance at The Ohio State University, and author of Perpetual Motion: Dance, Digital Cultures, and the Common (University of Minnesota Press, 2020).
