Sinopsis

Moving Sites explores site-specific dance practice through a combination of analytical essays and practitioner accounts of their working processes. It provides dance academics, students and practitioners with a series of discussions that shed light both on approaches to making this type of dance pracitce, and on evaluating and reflecting on it.

This edited volume combines critical thinking from a range of perspectives including commentary and observation from the fields of dance studies, human geography and spatial theory in order to present interdisciplinary discourse and a range of critical and practice-led lenses through which this type of work can be considered and explored, answering the following questions:

 In so doing, this book aims to address the following questions:

  • How do choreographers make site-specific dance performance?
  • What occurs when a moving, dancing body engages with site, place and environment?
  • How might we interpret, analyse and evaluate this type of dance practice through a range of theoretical ’lenses’?
  • How can this type of practice inform wider discussions of embodiment, site, space, place and environment - what does it reveal?
