Aims and Scope
The journal welcomes high-quality original research manuscripts, comprehensive cross-cultural reviews, performative methodology analyses, and critical scores across the following horizons:
Advanced Choreographic Frameworks
Research on kinetic notation, movement aesthetics, contemporary dance composition, and technological integration in physical performance spacing.
Musicological & Ethnomusicological Syntheses
Analytical studies on traditional music preservation, compositional theory, acoustic archaeology, and socio-cultural impacts of sonic practices.
Performative & Cultural Analysis
Cross-disciplinary analysis of historical theater links, rituals, embodiment theories, and evolving audience interactive parameters.
Evidence-Based Performing Arts Tech
Investigations into digital performance archiving, motion capture in performance, structural acoustics, and cognitive responses to sound and dance patterns.
Purpose of the Journal
- To maintain a dependable bi-annual publishing track that accelerates the archiving of performative studies and theoretical art data.
- To support the cross-disciplinary integration of scientific empirical tools within classical music and dance research.
- To provide worldwide, permanent visibility under open licensing models to maximize citation growth for art scholars.
- To protect and preserve cultural heritage through documented ethnomusicological and somatic analysis datasets.
Intended Academic Readers
