The need to 'rethink' and question the nature of dance history has
not diminished since the first edition of Rethinking Dance History.
This revised second edition addresses the needs of an ever-evolving
field, with new contributions considering the role of digital media
in dance practice; the expansion of performance philosophy; and the
increasing importance of practice-as-research. A two-part structure
divides the book's contributions into: * Why Dance History? - the
ideas, issues and key conversations that underpin any study of the
history of theatrical dance. * Researching and Writing -
discussions of the methodologies and approaches behind any
successful research in this area. Everyone involved with dance
creates and carries with them a history, and this volume explores
the ways in which these histories might be used in
performance-making - from memories which establish identity to
re-invention or preservation through shared and personal heritages.
Considering the potential significance of studying dance history
for scholars, philosophers, choreographers, dancers and students
alike, Rethinking Dance History is an essential starting point for
anyone intrigued by the rich history and many directions of dance.
