Dancing around Copyright: who owns a dance? A conversation with dance filmmaker, Evann Siebens, and dancer/choreographer/performer Tara Cheyenne Freidenberg about the law and ethics of making and recording dance with Martha Rans, legal director of Artists Legal Outreach. Dance is a complex expression of movement where the dancer is often inextricably connected to the choreography. How does this fit into a system of copyright that requires fixation? Part of the Yours, Mine and Ours copyright conversation series. artistslegaloutreach.com.

F-O-R-M is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. F-O-R-M continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
