Produktbeschreibung

The need to discuss, question and rethink dance history has not diminished in the decade since Rethinking Dance History first published. Everyone involved with dance creates and carries with them a history, and this book explores the ways in which these histories can be used in making dance - from memories that establish identity and form resonances, to re-invention or preservation through shared and personal heritages. It also opens up the ways in which knowledge and understanding of dance history can be important for scholars, philosophers, choreographers, dancers and students. This is an essential starting point for anyone trying to analyse, explain or think about the history and directions of dance.
