This book is a collection of essays that capture the artistic
voices at play during a staging process. Situating familiar
practices such as reimagining, reenactment and recreation alongside
the related and often intersecting processes of transmission,
translation and transformation, it features deep insights into
selected dances from directors, performers, and close associates of
choreographers. The breadth of practice on offer illustrates the
capacity of dance as a medium to adapt successfully to diverse
approaches and, further, that there is a growing appetite amongst
audiences for seeing dances from the near and far past. This study
spans a century, from Rudolf Laban's Dancing Drumstick (1913) to
Robert Cohan's Sigh (2015), and examines works by Mary Wigman,
Madge Atkinson (Natural Movement), Doris Humphrey, Martha Graham,
Yvonne Rainer and Rosemary Butcher, an eclectic mix that crosses
time and borders.
