Contemporary Choreography

This innovative text provides a range of articles covering choreographic enquiry, traditional understandings of dance-making and investigation and research into the creative process. Including contributions by practitioners and researchers from Europe, America, Africa, Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region, this reader investigates choreography in six broad domains: conceptual and philosophic concerns; educational settings; communities; changing aesthetics; intercultural choreography; and, choreography's relationships with other disciplines. By providing a reference work that captures the essence and progress of choreography in the twenty-first century, "Contemporary Choreography: A Critical Reader" supports and encourages rigorous thinking and research for future generations of dance artist practitioners and scholars.
