On Common Ground is the title of a series of conferences begun in 1996. The proceedings are available; see the publications page.
We are sorry to announce that the 2011 conference Grace and Harmony: Music for Dance and Dance in Music has had to be cancelled. Unfortunately, we received too few proposals for workshops and papers to allow us to run a full two-day programme. We felt that, in the circumstances, we would also be unable to attract sufficient delegates to cover our costs. Hences our very reluctant decision to cancel the event.
