This publication critically maps the history, impact and implications of the Keir Choreographic Award, whilst offering broader reflections on competition, criticality, community and place in dialogue with international thinkers and practitioners. Through interviews, analytical and poetic re-readings of the award’s embodied and digital archives, it mobilises multiple perspectives and disciplinary contexts in order to engage with what remains and what matters.
