This edited collection charts the development of contemporary dance
in Central and Eastern Europe since the literal and symbolic
revolutions of 1989. Central Europe and the former Soviet Bloc
countries were a major presence in dance - particularly theatrical
dance - throughout the twentieth century. With the fragmentation of
traditional structures in the final decade of the century came a
range of aesthetic and ideological responses from dance
practitioners. These ranged from attempts to reform classical
ballet to struggles for autonomy from the state, and the nature of
each was influenced by a set of contexts and circumstances
particular to each country. Each contribution covers the strategies
of a different country's dance practitioners, using a similar
structure in order to invite comparisons. In general, they address:
Historical context, showing the roots of contemporary dance forms
The socio-political climates that influenced emerging companies and
forms The relationships between aesthetic exploration and
institutional patronage The practitioners who were central to the
development of dance in each country A diagnosis of the current
state of the art and how it has come about The book's main
through-line is the concept of community, and how all of the
different approaches that it documents have in some way engaged
with this notion, consciously or otherwise. This can take the form
of oppositional relationships, institutional formations, or
literally, in identifiable communities of dancers and
choreographers.
