journal spotlight wording Animated is a community dance magazine published by People Dancing. It gives you insight into a range of views and voices about practice in participatory dance. You can use it as a source when researching for your assignments.

The Library has a subscription to the print version of this magazine which can be found in the Library@DavidGoldman.

Did you also know that People Dancing gives free access on their web site to a number of previously published articles since 1996?

Maybe you’ve only used books so far in your assignments. We also have many more journals available through our Art Full Text and International Bibliography of Theatre and Dance databases which you access from the Performing Arts subject pages.

If you want any support in finding relevant literature for your assignments contact us 24/7 on Library Talk, or you can make a 1-2-1 consultation to see me, Suzie Williams, your Academic Liaison Librarian. Request a session now!
