Harmony Bench's work sits at the intersection of dance studies, performance history, and digital humanities, focusing on how dance and choreography can be documented, archived, and analyzed using data-driven and computational methods. Much of the research examines historical dance archives (such as those of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Katherine Dunham), screendance (dance made for film and video), and questions about ethics and representation in digitizing embodied histories. This work would suit students interested in combining humanities approaches with digital tools to study dance, performance, and cultural history.
