This book elucidates the technical aspects of improvised dance performance and reframes the notion of labour in the practice from one that is either based on compositionally formal logic or a mysterious impulse, to one that addresses the (in)corporeal dimensions of practice.

'This is an impressive account of western improvised dance that remains loyal to the practice, while seeking to amplify its self-understanding. Wait's commitment to the concept of affect and its resonance runs through this book as a core principle, offering a basis for thinking through that which is distinctive about western improvised dance.'

'Wait embraces the complex field of contemporary, western improvised dance, in what I'd call a cartography, a genealogy, and an analysis of local practices or case studies. Through a major compilation of sources and authors, Wait offers alternative conceptual models to re-categorize practices and escape dualisms. This book makes an important contribution to dance studies.'
