Dancing to Transform (eBook, ePUB)

How Concert Dance Becomes Religious in American Christianity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dancing to Transform makes a refreshing and important contribution to the growing sub-discipline of religion and performance. By using four original, multi-site, qualitative studies of four dance companies, it examines the religious lives of American Christians who are also professional dancers.

In this book, Emily Wright details how religious and artistic commitments, everyday lived experiences and varied performance contexts influence and shape the approaches of Christian professional dancers to creating, transforming and performing dance. Subsequently, this book provides readers with a greater awareness and appreciation for the complex interactions between American Christianity and dance.

Dancing to Transform will appeal to scholars and practitioners in dance and performance fields, especially those working with religious iconography and visual culture, as well as religious studies scholars and anyone with particular interest in religious expression through performance.
