Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Dance theater
Whereas [[Dance theater]] redirects to Tanztheater, [[Dance theatre]] currently sends you to Concert dance. Neither page really covers the entire topic. As, for instance, in "Butoh is a form of Japanese dance theatrehum..."
Any thoughts? 86.134.203.235 (talk) 10:53, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for bringing this up, 86 -- this has long been an issue of concern for me -- that is, the general state and lack of detail/diversity in our articles on concert dance, theatrical dance, musical theatre dance, broadway dance, jazz dance and so-forth. I made a personal review of the matter about two years back, but the major stumbling block holding back significant expansion in these areas (aside from editor involvement) was the poor state of the sources; dance just does not, as an art form, have the level of scholarship covering its historical and stylistic distinctions that some other visual and performing arts do. Sufficient sources are out there, but getting ahold of all of the right ones for all the right areas and distilling their salient points without original research will be a challenge. But as it happens, I am going to be trying to rejuvenate WP:WikiProject Dance soon, so I will try to make this a first order of business once we (hopefully) have more hands on deck.

- Oh, thanks for that, Snow Rise :-)<-/ 86.134.203.235 (talk) 17:49, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Of course. It's long overdue. But I see now, reading your question as I did in a hurry yesterday, I actually misinterpreted by quite a bit. You're right that these forking of the redirects is a problem. I'll take a look. Snow talk 20:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm, yes....honestly the articles themselves seem to be a (non-obvious) fork. I think Tanztheater (and it's many good sources) should probably be merged into Concert dance, as part of a history section that describes the evolution of the latter. Unfortunately, Concert dance itself is very underdeveloped. I'm going to point both redirects to Concert dance (the parent topic and the one most users of en.Wikipedia would be looking for when referencing "dance theater", regardless of spelling) and then look into a merge when I do a general overview of this area, hopefully soon. Concert dance should be a massively larger article. Lambtron, you've provided us with a lot of good media for styles derived from concert dance; any chance you've got textual resources in this regard as well? Snow talk 20:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well, Pina Bausch's usage of the term (as in de:Tanztheater Wuppertal [1]) has, I think, generally been referred to in English as "dance theater". I'm less sure about the 1930s expressionist Tanztheater genre from which she borrowed the term, though it is sometimes translated literally as "dance theater". (And Japanese butoh, I think, also has aesthetic links, internationally, to the Tanztheater tradition.)
However, the common usage of "dance theater" in English is, I think, largely independent (and closer perhaps to "concert dance"?). 2c, 86.134.203.235 (talk) 23:18, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

- Unfortunately I am rich in media and poor in textual resources. I have a sense of what these genres are and, to some extent, what differentiates them, but no sources that would enable me to write about them with authority. Perhaps FourViolas, who seems quite good at finding dance sources, might be able to help with this. Lambtron (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Afraid I don't have a source on Tanztheater at the moment, although I know of a good library nearby. (And thanks, Lambtron, I'm flattered!) I think the problem here is that Tanztheater is a particular artistic movement—drama+tragedy+pantomime+heavy makeup+Arnold Schoenberg—and "tanztheater" happens to be German for "Dance theatre", a British term for art dance in general. Given the broader applications of "dance theatre," I propose a WP:Hatnote on Concert Dance saying FourViolas (talk) 22:15, 26 January 2015 (UTC) I'll copy this discussion over to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance to help enliven things there
