Nordic Dance Spaces (eBook, PDF)

Practicing and Imagining a Region
Redaktion: Vedel, Karen

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Dance has been connected to the practices and ideologies that have shaped notions of a Nordic region for more than a century and it is ingrained into the culture and society of the region. This book investigates different dance phenomena that have either engaged with or dismantled notions of Nordicness. Looking to the motion of dancers and dance forms between different locations, organizations and networks of individuals, this book opens a rare window into Nordic culture seen through the prism of dance.
