>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CIRCULATION DESK was born out of the need to reimagine dance criticism. Many iconic artists have circulated through Salt Lake City. They leave to live in other places across the nation, but sometimes they also return. The goal is to have conversations across the nation that connect different geographical hubs for experimental dance. This programming is designed to get at the heart of the complex realities that have inspired and questioned artists across the nation.

On Migration: August - September 2026
This season we are thinking about migration in its multiplicity of meaning in hopes to honor the complex way artists migrate today.
✨geographically, the mobility of an artist today and the need to travel to work in various places to make a living in dance.
✨thematically over time, how artists’ ideas migrate over a longer span of time.
✨even in how artists migrate through different mediums and career paths and how that impacts the field and cultural landscapes.

Each event date will be an hour long, live, virtual conversation with Halie Bahr (editor of loveDANCEmore) and featured artist/s. RSVP & tune in live via zoom webinars.

✨[RSVP linked in our bio]✨
$15 suggested with FREE or pay what you can options available!

CIRCULATION DESK is a curated event presented by loveDANCEmore. This project is supported in part by Creative West which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

loveDANCEmore believes in education. Utah’s collective value of dance is rare and something to be celebrated. Help us fund Dance Education in the Intermountain West!

Earlier this year in an interview with 15 bytes, our founder, Ashley Anderson, discussed the changes to the university systems and their potential impact on the future of dance in Utah.

Part of loveDANCEmore’s mission is to support the development of dance artists and choreographers here in Utah by retaining the artists educational systems have cultivated.

If you believe in opportunities for artists, both in K-12 initiatives and growth, learning, and curiosity in the professional sphere. Consider making a donation, linked in our bio!

We are ALMOST to our NEW goal of $7,500. Help us towards the finish line in whatever way you can!

And of course, read the full interview with 15 bytes in our bio.

Any amount big or small helps. Help us fund our future!

As we dream of 2026, we find ourselves reimagining what’s needed most.
What’s new for the journal?
Our archive of dance writing for 15 years?
We’re more interested in ideas circulating between artists, rather than traditional reviews. You may have already noticed this shift in our recent publications — critical discourse that forwards artistry together.
