Shakespeare's texts have a long and close relationship with many
different types of dance, from dance forms referenced in the plays
to adaptations across many genres today. With contributions from
experienced and emerging scholars, this handbook provides a concise
reference on dance as both an integral feature of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century culture and as a means of translating
Shakespearean text into movement - a process that raises questions
of authorship and authority, cross-cultural communication,
semantics, embodiment, and the relationship between word and image.
Motivated by growing interest in movement, materiality, and the
body, The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Dance is the first
collection to examine the relationship between William Shakespeare
- his life, works, and afterlife - and dance. In the handbook's
first section - Shakespeare and Dance - authors consider dance
within the context of early modern life and culture and investigate
Shakespeare's use of dance forms within his writing. The latter
half of the handbook - Shakespeare as Dance - explores the ways
that choreographers have adapted Shakespeare's work. Chapters
address everything from narrative ballet adaptations to dance in
musicals, physical theater adaptations, and interpretations using
non-Western dance forms such as Cambodian traditional dance or
igal, an indigenous dance form from the southern Philippines. With
a truly interdisciplinary approach, The Oxford Handbook of
Shakespeare and Dance provides an indispensable resource for
considerations of dance and corporeality on Shakespeare's stage and
the early modern era.
